Great, he poses a genuine concern to a presidential candidate and he's investigated just like they used to do in Communist Russia and Nazi Germany.
Wow Dims, way to sway voters, ya fuckin' Nazis. Trying to silence people who ask questions. Why not just put him in a ******* Gulag?

Wow I love how Reb is defending The Plumber like he's defending McCain. Calm down there bud, it's not some conspiracy by me to bash McCain. I just thought it was funny.

newsflash, MSNBC is a socialist propaganda outlet. Which is why they think they can get away with running a story claiming a Plumber isn't a Plumber simply because its his boss who holds the license.

RE: Joe the plumber...well, technically isn't a plumber
Obama's payroll tax hike, income tax hike, and health-care proposal would stifle growth and cause small businesses to suffer, thats the point. He's playing games with personal tax rates, between supposed 'cuts' being part of 'tax credits' which aren't tax cuts at all and he's playing games with words. This is why McCain kept pointing out the Lawyer speak of Obama last night, with carefully chosen words and outright Lies.
aside from that, letting the bush tax cuts expire is a tax hike. many small businesses pay taxes based on thoss personal tax rates as a whole and most bring in over 250k, which is paid out to employes. Provides Capital to re-invest into things like Jobs.
If you are American and don't realize that Democrats Raise taxes, yet lie about it in campaigns yet(ever since Mondale was honest about doing so) there is no hope. This is what they do, Lie and then Tax. Bill Clinton didn't even wait until he got in office to back track from his "Middle Class Tax Cut" lie, he did it as President Elect.

Yeah, what did this guy think, the US was a free country or something?
Oh, that's right, only Dims have freedom of speech....unless they want to protest at DNC rallies.

Bringing in over 250k in earnings is not the same things as having 250K in income.
If I have 275k in earnings and I pay 175K out to employees as salary expenses, I only have 100K in income. Guess what "based on what Obama said last night" I do not have to pay more taxes. Now if Joe the plumber (and some of the other Repubs) is thinking that earnings is automatically income, he does not need to be owning any business whatsoever.....

Aparently Joe owes some back taxes also, according to MSNBC.

Nazis is a more applicable term. Anything to shut up people asking legitimate questions.
This will be taken care of. A lot of people will send him checks.

It's funny how the liberal press airs Joe's laundry yet totally ignore Obama's past friendships with terrorists, inexperience, higher taxes, etc...

You bash Dems for digging up dirt, while you constantly tout the dirt that Republicans dug up on Obama, with Ayers, Resko, etc. etc. Anybody rember the Swifboaters, how about blowjob-gate? Remeber Valerie Plame, Whitewater, the "AARP is anti-american" campaign.
If anything, its a page out of Karl Rove's playbook.
Its politics. If you stick your nose in, you're gonna get punched. It'll always be like that.

Joe the Plumber didn't stick his nose into anything - he asked a presidential candidate a question. Other than McC and Hillary, no one has dared to question the Messiah. Since Obama can't kill him the press is trying to.
