"Joe the Plumber" already owes taxes

Too bad John McCain -- again -- didn't do his homework before the last debate.

(1) "Joe the Plumber" is not a licensed plumber (read it here)

(2) "Joe the Plumber" owes unpaid taxes (read it here).

(3) "Joe the Plumber" even if he was a plumber, and bought the business, probably would not pay any more taxes under Obama's tax plan, and might even have his taxes reduced. (read it here).


McCain has a history of launching off on a half-backed course of action based on shoddy investigation (see Palin, Sarah; Keeting, Charles; Deregulation of banks). This is another example. Or it's another example of McCain campaign fiction, like the Ayer's flap.

Obama's tax plan would give most of us tax breaks paid for by simply rolling back the tax breaks George Bush and John McCain gave to the super rich six years ago (breaks to John McCain by the way, which is why they are hiding Cindy's tax returns). McCain has transferred wealth from the working man to the corporate elite.

It's time for a president who will make America strong, not simply bleed the middle class while denying the rest of us opportunity. We need Obama.
