View Full Version : Joe the plumber takes on Barack Obama
"If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off if you’re gonna be better off if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody."
-Barak Obama

You have to fix corruption on the top. Where decisions are made impacting 10,000 Joes. Obama sounds great on TV but he doesn't understand how the real free market works. Free market without criminal acts being overlooked.

This is where I hate politics, since the question can't be answered honestly without the next 2 weeks being about the response. The answer is simple, "yes your taxes will go up and you will be required to cover your employees for healthcare. It's my belief that with lower taxes on your customers they will be buy more of your products."
Can you imagine if he actually said that? Although McCain is just as bad saying he wants the government to take on massive amounts of debt for idiots who couldn't read their mortgage application or realize they couldn't afford a McMansion on 30k/yr

They knew they couldn't afford the McMansions.
