Joe the Plumber Has No Sway

Update from the Toledo Blade: Poor Joe the Plumber has no license and apparently, he needs one. The downside of being in the limelight.
Joe the Plumber slams Obama the next President for his "socialist" view on morning TV. When someone says "socialist" that usually means they vehemently oppose Obama.
The McCain camp is eating it up, trying to make the most of it. Who's Joe voting for? Duh. Does it matter? Nope. He doesn't seem to have had any sway, except for the people who already oppose Obama profusely.
Here's another thing, we all have to pay taxes so why is it that some republicans believe that the people at the tippy top should get the most tax breaks? That doesn't make any sense. They're the ones who know all the loopholes.
They have money invested so that it grows without anyone lifting a finger. They're the ones with 7 houses and 11 cars. Why shouldn't the people at the middle get more of the break so that we can stabilize the divide between the very rich and the rest of us. Maybe the tax structure needs to change every now and then. 


More on Joe from Joe:
CNN: “You notice John [McCain] continues to cling to the notion of this guy Joe the plumber,” Biden said on NBC’s Today show. “I don't have any Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood that make $250,000 a year that are worried.”

“The Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood, the Joe the cops in my neighborhood, the Joe the grocery store owners in my neighborhood — they make, like 98 percent of the small businesses, less than $250,000 a year,” said the Democratic VP nominee. “And they’re going to do very well under us, and they’re going to be in real tough shape under John McCain.”


Joe is in line to get a tax cut under Obama but he doesn't care. By saying the word "socialist" he's saying I'm with McCain.
