Where is Joe? (Joe the Plumber Meets the Tax-Cut Calculator)

Joe the Plumber was a no show at a McCain rally in Ohio this Thursday. "Where is Joe?" McCain asked the crowd. Silence.
Maybe Joe had finally done the math and realized he came out better under Obama's tax plan than under McCain's.
If you want to see for yourself, visit TaxCutFacts.org and plug in Joe's (actual) salary of $42,500. Or plug in your own.

Next time anyone brings up J the P, tell them that he would need to generate at least $950,570 in gross sales to net $250,000 a year. That's figuring NO overhead, no costs for those sales, free tools & supplies, no tax deductions. That sales of $2,600 a day, every day. That's one hard working plumber!

This is using a gross margin figure of 26.3%

So now we find out that Joe the Faux plumber has been on welfare 3 times during his lifetime. Cracker. He needs to take the pledge that even if he falls on hard times again, he will not go on welfare for the 4th time.

LOL!!!

That's capitalism! Tax payers making millions paid more in the Clinton years and no one said this crazy crap!!! WTF!?! Perhaps Sam should worry about keeping his own house in order... I mean 2 ex-wives and being a single father? Perhaps, he should not worry about Donald Trump, Oprah & Warren Buffet's money!

WTF is that about anyway? Esp. when most of these millionaires & billionaires endorsed OBAMA anyway! THEY don't want America in the Depression even. Dummys think like you! ROFL@U

[crazycoolone]

Great point!

This guy has a book deal and a publicist now, but can't pay his backtaxes???!!! C'mon, he should be UNDER the JAIL!

His 15 minutes have EXPIRED... I mean anyone can be a tax-dodging, wife beating, loud-mouth-- but those WITH ANY SENSE Shut up and fade into the woodwork.

PLEASE let me interview this guy, Sam... I'll put him in his place. He needs to focus on caring for his son & not trying to out-celeb anyone. He's NOT even handsome and far less intelligent than he thinks!

Joe was also a twice recipient of welfare, AND owes taxes he failed to pay. He is in dept to a hospital over $1000 and has a history of domestic violence.

The point: If you have shit you don't want exposed, don't allow yourself to make waves. And definitely ask those who are pushing you into the spotlight(McCain) to cease.

"Joe with Obama might not even have a job MR. CALCULATOR, DUMB ASS!! "

Joelvat with critical thought would not have said such a stupid fallacy. If there's one thing Americans won't put up with is clogged toilets. Plumbers are one of the job field that will most likely survive a recession.

Additionally, "Joe the unlicensed plumber" would most likely lose his job because he is a compulsive liar. He can't even afford to buy the company which earns less than 250K which he claimed made over that.

Joe with Obama might not even have a job MR. CALCULATOR, DUMB ASS!!

Wow, he saves more money with obama... why don't you take a step back and look at other people. isnt that what a democrat does? try to benefit otheres. Joe doesnt want the increased tax on people that makes tons of money because thats not fair to take a higher percentage from people that work harder and have earned the money. Why don't you go work hard and earn some money to let yourself get taxed.  You probably lack the drive and ability.
