“Political Radar: Joe The Plumber: Obama Tax Plan ‘Infuriates Me’John McCain may have found a blue-collar face to help him argue that no American — not even the richest 5 percent — should pay higher taxes.
‘Joe The Plumber’ has weighed in on Wednesday’s presidential debate and he says that Barack Obama’s tax plan ‘infuriates me.‘”
Hilarious. If you own a business, you better pay attention and get your head out of the political sand.

The entire “socialist” meme being pushed by the McCain/Palin ticket is a red herring. The reality is that there won’t be any broad new social programs, no matter who is elected. The difficulty lies in financing the obligations that our society has already accrued. Our government is over $10 billion in debt (when we include the money to be spent in the bailout), and the interest on that sum is astronomical. This is eroding international confidence in our currency. What “Joe the plumber” really represents is the large contingent of middle class schmucks that wouldn’t recognize their enlightened self-interest if it bit them on their collective ass. People like Wurzelbacher, who still believe in realizing the “American Dream” through the “free market system” are drinking the Kool-Aid that is destroying our country.
* To really understand what transpired between Obama and Wurzelbacher, you have to see the complete video and/or read the trancript. You can do that HERE.

SERENDIPITY
First off the black background and white text hurts my eyes. The 90′s wants their css back. hehe jk
This is like a game of semantics here. OK, it’s not socialism. It’s socialism lite. We fought a revolutionary war over comparatively similar taxes.
Moreover it is not a “red herring” as you commented on my blog when your “dear leader” makes a gaffe and exposes is economic long view – spreading the wealth.
Maybe I am wrong but you’re even writing from the premise that Barack is not even a left-wing fringe liberal in a cute little moderate package. It’s not arguable, He’s a liberal.
So, give him 1 year and he’ll tax the job creators in whatever prose you want. Give him 2 and he’ll gut the intelligence services and the military like Bill did, give him 3 and he will side against our traditional allies (Joe the Biden gaffe), give him 4 and he’ll want more because the rich are still getting richer and the poor are still getting poorer.
Jeez, it’s the same every year.
Does anyone here own a business of their own?
“Red herring”
Obama’s socialist push is not a herring but certainly red.
Still a red herring?
