Win One For The Plumber

A plumber in Ohio has become quite famous in the past couple of weeks for having asked a question of Barack Obama. The question was quite fair, and the answer was very telling, and so was the reaction of the Pro-Obama media.

First, the question, Joe the plumber, as he has come to be known, asked Obama about his tax plan, and wanted to know if he bought a business that brought in more than $250,000 a year if he would be taxed higher under Obama's tax plan. In response, Obama actually stated that it's better for everyone if we spread the wealth around. In other words, he was admitting that he intends to take, by force, the fruits of success from those who earn and produce more, and give it to those who earn and produce less, or nothing at all. This is clear cut socialism, redistribution of wealth, the opposite of what our nation was founded on, and all it stands for.

The media realized that this would not sit well with most of the American people, at least those who could be made to understand that was going on, so, in true liberal fashion, they decided to go after the man asking the question to try to distract from the answer to that question. Since the media is desperate for any way to get Obama into office, they went over the deep end digging into every aspect of Joe the plumber's life. They have been trumpeting the fact that he owes a little in back taxes and that he doesn't have a plumbers license (which, it turns out, he doesn't need for the type of work he does) and that maybe he doesn't actually have plans to buy the business in question. Every time the encounter comes up they just try to brush it off by saying that he's been discredited. As if showing the man asking the question isn't absolutely perfect will invalidate his question.

I heard one of these people the other day say that Joe the plumber owes over a thousand dollars in back taxes. This is true, but it's just barely over a thousand bucks, and yet, those same people just shrug about the many times that amount that is owed by Democrat members of Congress. And the other things that they've said about them are just fluff. But really, that doesn't even matter. The fact is that even if we found out that Joe was some sort of a low life creep, or a mental patient, it wouldn't affect the conversation in any meaningful way. The fact of the matter is that the question was valid, and the answer fully exposed the true Marxist core of the Democrat nominee for President.

This shows what lengths these people are willing to go to in order to obtain power, and how they will go after anyone, even regular folks, who pose any threat to that. And if Obama becomes President, and if the Democrats still control the Congress, all of us will see our taxes shoot through the roof. Small Businesses will see their taxes increase to the point were they will either have to shut down, or lay off employees, or, at best, not grow any bigger, all in the name of spreading the wealth around, and all the screaming about the imperfections of the questioner doesn't invalidate the question. So, when I said we need to win one for the Plumber, I'm talking about electing John McCain and Sarah Palin, and of course I mean, let's win one for us.
