Spin, no facts that came out discount the point being made. Joe clearly said he COULD make 250K a year if he bought the business when talking to Obama.
owing back taxes doesnt mean he doesnt pay them it may mean he cant pay them.

Moot!
According to Obama's tax plan as stated, he'd be exempt from the tax increase McCain said he'd have to be burdened with.
I don't think you're going to win this one.

Then I guess Joe needs to work harder and longer hours, maybe even get a 2nd job to pay them....... |

Look as a business owner, let me say that if Joe the plumber is going to be clearing 250k after taxes, he is going to have to gross 700 to a million. Then when his accountant says 'joe, you made over 250 k..your going to take a huge hit on your taxes' Joe will say 'the hell I am.. watch this' and will go out and buy a new dodge sprinter and write it off...
There is a saying I love... "a penny wise and a pound foolish".. I will happily vote for a person who wants a tax system like this... it will stimulate the economy in ways people can not fathom..

That would be the patriotic thing to do. That way Obama can give a tax rebate to people that don't even have one job. |

ScottW --- Jezz, you reading my mind?
Great post!
I've been a Phila Building Trades Union member for 29 years and even with all the pro-labor promises coming from zerObama I can not simply vote my wallet over my principles. I am not alone on the jobsites.
Let me tell you what real plumbers, sprinklerfitters, glaziers, carpenters, masons, etc, think . . .
I printed up a couple sheets of various small NObama stickers (below) for my hardhat and some of the guys in my crew. In less than 3 hours the whole job had them on their hardhats . . . 6 sheets went that fast and guys were stuffing dollar bills in my pockets to print some out for them personally. I was flabbergasted; encouraged but flabbergasted nonetheless . . . . Many guys seemed relieved that fellow union members held the same negative sentiments about zerObama they did; the atmosphere was absolutely jovial!
A lot of people are offering the public display of the hingehead "YES - OBAMA - I WILL OBEY" but in the privacy of the voting booth they will vote their conscience.

You can’t truly call yourself “peaceful” unless you are capable of great violence.
If you are incapable of violence, you are not peaceful, you are just harmless.

And don't forget the electrical guys.
I have several union friends who never sway from their union's endorsements,
but this year to the dismay of the O-baaah-ma followers, it's NoBama. |

Since both MA and RI are going to go blue, I'm not sure why any of you even waste your breath.
