Joe the Plumber

Does Joe have a website,…. yet? I was wondering where the poor plumbers live in this impoverished country. If I had my life to live over again, I'd be a plumber. Joe doesn't want to say who he is voting for,… maybe he should be a b.s. ing politician and not a plumber.

Support Joe the plumber! Support being rich! Buy a shirt showing you support the American dream! http://www.cafepress.com/thejoeshop

Turns out that Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher is related to Charles “the crook” Keating of the infamous Keating 5 scandal. And McCain campaign insiders knew about it. Hilarious.
.

wow. that was a cool video

Joe is a nice guy, looks like he wants to beat up Obama.

Thanks for posting the full version of the exchange. I think it's a good thing for people to watch. (There's a heavily edited version that ran on Fox, which is also making the rounds.)

A plumber without a plumbing license is a long way from making 250K
More likely 40K to 60K, which would mean that he would benefit from the lower tax rate that Obama proposes.
By the time a plumber can buy an established business; the place he works at, he will have learned more accounting, and will have figured out that only the amount above the 250K would be taxed at the higher rate. If he has Incorporated, he should be able to find ways to make it look like less than 250K too.

Joe The Plumber- speaks for the people.
And he got Obama to expose himself to be the Socialist that he is.
“Spread the wealth around.”

Wake up-America.
McCain-Palin 2008

Joe the Plumber was a PLANT by the McCain Camp!! When asked by Diane Sawyer of GMA if he had been contacted by the McCain Camp, Joe stated that he was and that he was told to attend a rally and Obama just happeded to show there.

Do I smell a RAT?

Was so sick of hearing about Joe the Plumber only making $250,000 a year from McCain… he should be counting his blessings! I grew up in a middle class family and I consider myself middle class but I sure don't make anything close to $250,000 a year. If Joe the Plumber is middle class then what does that make us? McCain has no clue what its like to be middle class or poor, Obama knows what its like. Amazes me, McCain cheated on his first wife for years and then married his wife he has now while still legally married to his first wife, guess he doesn't know that is bigamy (which is a felony) and not know how many houses he has? Come on, if he can lie about that stuff, he will lie about much more.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE JOE TO COME TO YOUR HOUSE TO REPAIR PLUMBING,THAT DAMN LIER WOULD CHEAT YOU OUT OF YOUR VOTE

JOE THE PLUMBER IS A LIAR AND A FAKE
Wurzelbacher first came to attention over the weekend, when he engaged Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, in a six-minute discussion of tax policy at a rally in Holland, Ohio. He told Obama that he was a plumber and was hoping to buy his boss’s business, which he said made $250,000 to $280,000 a year. He was concerned, he said, that Obama’s economic proposals would mean he’d be kicked into a higher tax bracket.

Wednesday night, McCain adopted Wurzelbacher as the representative of struggling middle-class Americans, addressing many of his comments directly to “Joe the plumber,” whom he misidentified as “Joe Wurzelburger.”

“The real winner last night was Joe the plumber. Joe’s the man,” McCain said Thursday at a campaign rally in Downington, Pa. “He won, and small businesses won across America. They won because Americans are not going to let Senator Obama raise taxes in a tough economy.”

‘There’s a lot I’ve got to learn’
Legally speaking, Wurzelbacher isn’t a plumber, because he isn’t licensed by Toledo, Lucas County or the state of Ohio. A representative of the Toledo Building Inspection Division said a plumber must be registered with the state and only then can apply for a city plumbing contractor’s license.

Wurzelbacher said he worked under the license held by his boss, Al Newell of Newell Plumbing and Heating Co. of Toledo. Newell is a licensed plumbing contractor in Toledo, records show. But anyone working under Newell should have a journeyman’s plumbing license or an apprenticeship license, officials said.

Building Inspection officials said Newell was responsible for making sure that anyone working under him was licensed. The Toledo Plumbing Board of Control may consider sanctions against Wurzelbacher or Newell, officials told NBC affiliate WNWO of Toledo.

“There’s a lot I’ve got to learn” about the plumbing business, Wurzelbacher said Thursday.

Wurzelbacher also acknowledged that he had no specific plans for buying Newell’s business, saying he and Newell had simply talked about the idea from time to time. He might have difficulty making the purchase: Court records from his divorce show that Wurzelbacher made $40,000 in 2006.

Even if he did buy Newell Plumbing and Heating, Obama’s tax plan wouldn’t affect him. While Wurzelbacher told Obama that he would be taxed at a higher rate because the company grossed more than $250,000 a year, Ohio business records show the company’s estimated total annual revenue as only $100,000. Actual taxable income would be even less than that.

In any event, Obama’s tax plan specifies that the higher rate would apply only to income above the $250,000 threshold. Assuming Wurzelbacher’s income as owner somehow hit $280,000 — the top end of his supposition of the company’s revenue — only the extra $30,000 would be taxed at a higher rate.

I'm busting up here after seeing the news…. Joe the Plumber has a lien on his house owes $1,183 and is a Republican. BUSTED!! Bet he wishes he didn't say a word to get all this attention, how everyone is knowing his business.

everyone against obama's tax plan and supporting joe the plumber should put a toilet plunger in their front yard with perhaps a sign on it that says we are going to fix washington

Is there a connecton between Joe the plumber and Rush Limbaugh? I heard that he is a regular caller on that show?

I trust Joe more than either of the two who took painfully earned tax dollars from citizens and funded a drunken wall st. spa junket well into the future. Those who would vote for either McCain or Obama are loyal to party above practicality, above country, above anything reasonable

This guy says the revenue of the company is 278.000$.
The tax rate would be 39% instead of 36%.
He would have a 3% tax increase in revenue over 250.000$ That means he would be paying an additional 3% on 28K.
A whopping 840$ a year. If he can't swing 840$ a year, he is clearly in the wrong business.

Forget Joe the Plumber…try Mike the Stagehand:

Obama is a cheating liar that wants to tax higher and supports partial abortion!! Who wants a baby killer as president? Also he wont even salute the American Flag, or say the Pledge or wear an American Flag pen on his suit, and we think that he is going to run out country hahahaha yeah right!!!! If he doesnt have enough confidence in to salute our flag say our pledge I dont want him running this country that I love!!!!

It's not about the American dream really…its about celebrating a bald guy dominating the news while we still have a war going on. Portion of proceeds benefit cancer research, so at least we turn this into a positive.

I think that Joe and McCain are both on Plumbers Crack. It seems that McCain's big problem is vetting (see Palin). Read my blog and watch the SNL video at http://www.clickoncomedy.com/comedyblog

The real point here is that Obama is perfectly comfortable taking from people who have worked hard their whole life to realize the American dream; a personal dream, only to arrive and find that dream really belongs to someone else, not because someone else worked for it, but because the government says so. Whatever happened to the philosophy of people like John Locke, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson. Remember them? Every American has the right to pursue life, liberty and happiness; we have a right to the fruits of our labor. We have a right to keep the property we have worked hard to earn. This is what our Country, Constitution, and Bill of Rights are built on. This is the foundation of our freedom. Don't let the liberal media and other elites lull you to sleep and steal your heritage!

Joe was an American citizen who asked Obama a ligitimate question. Obama gave him an answer. A bad answer at that. Nobody planted Joe at that rally and nobody forced Obama to take his question. Obama does know what it is like to be poor but has become very greedy with his $. Why doesn't Obama redistribute some of his own wealth to the American people instead of giving it to Acorn? He has lied about Ayers, Acorn, Fannie Mae and the Rev. Wright. After 20 yrs. of going to that church he claims he had no idea the Wright talked that way but yet in Obama's book he talked about “the greed of the white man” If that's not a racist remark I don't know what is. All people like that are dangerous to this country in many different ways but everyone one just wants to blame McCain. Obama says he has disconnected himself from these people which may be true but the only reason he did was because he got caught, just like a criminal. They only stop when they get caught. Do you know that the Republicans told the Democrat Congress several times that the Fannie Mae Crisis was coming and they (Democrats) did nothing? But yet you still blame the Rebublicans. Hello people? Most of the congress will still be the same even after the election and they are the ones who allowed us to be in this financial mess. Do some googling and find out the truth or are you afraid of the truth because you might be wrong.

Come on, even trolls can try harder than that.

Did you see Joe the plumbers Economic Plan?

“America’s Self Preservation Plan”
By Joe the Plumber

As our government meets with congress to develop a “Financial Rescue Package” for our economy and Obama talks about raising our taxes, let me make it quick and easy for them by giving them what I feel is the Plumbers Plan.

America’s Self Preservation Plan

This Plan is so easy and I guarantee it will end our recession quickly, boost the economy, increase the world value of the US dollar, significantly reduce global warming and the US carbon footprint, eliminate our dependency on foreign fossil fuels, create jobs, reduce wars saving lives, reduce hunger, keep US wealth in America, and make history and all of this by 9-11-2011.

You may be saying to yourself, this is not possible; no simple plumber can ever come up with a plan which achieves all of these great things while congress is stagnated, it would be too good to be true and difficult to implement!

Well, you are all wrong, this plan is so easy and simple, it can be achieved by the American people making only one decision in their life, without spending a dime, with little effort, in fact, it will probably save you money for you.

Believe me this plan is fool proof or I will never snake a toilet again.

How can this be done? Well here is my simple plan in one sentence

1. Park your gas vehicle for good and purchase a compressed air car within the next year or at least put one on order, it will not cost you a dime more than your spending now, it basically will be free. (Read on this plan will make total sense soon, I promises or I will quite the plumbers union.)

How can this be the whole plan? Simple, these cars will be for sale in the US beginning in 2009. These cars will cost approximately $16,000.00 but, as I said, it will not cost you a dime more than you’re paying not for transportation. You will pay for this car over the next 3 years with the extra money you will save ($200 to $400/month) by not fueling your gasoline powered vehicle. Compressed air cars can travel up to 90 mph and approximately 125 miles on a $2.00 tank of compressed air. (Google search compressed air cars for more details on this technology), but I am not here to promote any particular car manufacturer, I am here to explain how my simple economic plan if fool proof.

If we all purchase ( again, no real cost purchase) these cars at the same time this out cry of the American people will force the government into providing tax breaks and credits, incentives and low interest financing. (Did I say tax credit Mr. Obama?) Banks and car manufacturers will look at these loans as safe investment and will easily grant them to the consumers but in won’t really matter to us because these cars are fairly inexpensive and will not cost you any more out of pocket money then you are currently sending fueling your gas vehicle. In fact, most people will save money and be driving a new environmentally friendly, green vehicle for free.

With the extra money in our pocket, the consumers can purchase a small compressed air refueling system for their home from their local compressed gas/propane Plumber. You can also just plug in your vehicle over night and it will recharge by it self. Gas stations may not cooperate with the transition of their tanks and pumps from gasoline to compressed air so the government may need to aid in pushing through simple regulation for compressed air home refueling systems along with financing and incentives for localized compressed air refueling stations to speed up the process.

That’s it! “The America’s Self Preservation Plan”, how easy was that? A plumber figured it out!

Now you’re asking yourself, how will this no cost purchase of these cars by the American people achieve all of the great things I stated in my opening paragraph?

Easy and here is how it wills all falls into place!

1. The end of our recession and a boost for the economy: most car driving American families I know are spending between $50 to $100 dollars a week in gas refueling, minimum. This equates to $200 to $400 dollars for gas minimum per month. This money is substantial and in not going into the American economy. Most of the money is going overseas making a few people very wealthy. These very wealthy people have too much money with little needs, they do not live in the US and therefore they are not putting it back into the American economy. If consumers, instead of rich oil lords, are saving this money and putting it into the American economy it will result in a proven continuous stimulus package. Consumers will spend the extra money on home purchases, renovations, electronics, cars, vacations, air travel, investments, cure cancer, heart disease more plumbing supplies etc. Most importantly the cost of oil per barrel will begin to plunge drastically to compensate for the surplus in world oil, reducing gas prices at our pumps. The reduction of gas prices will further help the economy and aid in the transition phase to total compressed air transportation. Other technologies such as generators and heating system boilers etc will emerge from the compressed air technology reducing oil dependencies further.

2. Increased value of the US dollar: Once the US starts climbing out of the recession and the price of oil per barrel starts to fall the value of the US dollar will increase, basic economics. Quality of life will be better; as US citizen can then return to traveling once more out side of the country.

3. Reduced global warming and US carbon footprint: These cars have zero emissions! The US consumes the majority of the world fossil fuels resulting in significant US pollution and emissions. I understand that you need to consume fossil fuels to produce compressed air but this type of generation produces far less emissions and can be regulated easier. Power to manufacture compressed air can also be produced by alternate energies such as nuclear, coal, hydro-electric, solar, fuel cells, cogeneration, wind generation, bio plant, wave generation etc, all American made self supported technologies. Let’s not forget the reduction of oil spill risk and disasters which involve costly environmental clean up, reduced off shore drilling and terrible affects oil spills have on habitats. By the way, does anyone really know what the effect of removing all of this oil from the ground is doing to our planet? What about the energy saving resulting from not having to pump the oil from the fields, transferring of oil to gas stations buy trucks and tankers etc?

4. Eliminate our dependency on foreign fossil fuels: If the majority of us purchase compressed air cars this will force all US car manufacturers to get into this arena and other transportation vehicles such as trucks boats etc will soon follow eventually eliminating the need for foreign fossil fuel dependency.

5. Create jobs: Compressed air home or centralized refueling stations will need to be installed, plumbed and built, all US car manufacturers will need to get hire labor and get into production of compressed air vehicles very quickly. Why do you think American’s buy foreign cars? It’s because they get better gas mileage and the vehicles are more dependable! Well, all compressed cars will get great MPG’s and the US car manufacturers will be forced into producing a dependable engine and vehicle. I was in the manufacturing field for many years and I know these cars can be produced within a short period to time.

6. Reduce wars and save lives: If you think 9-11-2001 and our current crisis in the Middle East is not because of oil terrorism you have been living under a rock. Our young men are being killed and permanently damaged because we are dependant upon oil.

7. Reduce Hunger: Corn field and oil fields used for energy can be farmed to produce more food for the hungry. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of land not producing food, why. The Government can offer more farm-aid for this transition.

8. Keep US wealth in America. Yes we have witnessed history in the making twice in less then 10 years. 9-11-2001 and 2008, right now. For those of you who are not aware of the situation, US wealth is exiting our shores faster then it has ever done before in our history. Many wealthy people, investors etc are leaving the country to protect their $$ investments due to high taxes, low dollar value etc. This combined with the high foreign oil prices is resulting in our countries wealth exiting our boarders at a rate never seen before in history. Yes, if you have not figured it out oil controls our economy and foreign oil lords are in the driving seat, pretty frightening.

I hope I made all of you a believer in my plan, its fool proof. I am not a politician, lobbyist; writer, I am not associated with compressed air car manufacturers. I am a plumber by profession. I am married with a family, an American concerned with all of the current issues which face us today in the US. My father and grandfathers fought and died for this country. My family has worked in the plumbing industry and was part of the “Great Industrial Revolution” which built this country and put us on top as a world power. Our generation is now in control of this country and it is our turn to make History with this simple plan.

I can say one thing for what it’s worth; I guarantee this plan will work, with no new taxes Obama, but it will take all of us to believe. If we fight together the results will be real with little to no effort or financial burden to all of us Americans. If we do our part in purchasing these types of vehicles this year the rest will fall into place I guarantee it.

I said my plan will take approximately 3 year to be fully implemented although results will be seen almost immediately.

Let’s set a date to be oil independent, it is appropriate to set it for 9-11-2011 on the 10th anniversary of a historic tragedy. This day will go down in History as “Oil Independence Day”, the day the American people fought back and achieved independent from foreign oil and tool back control of our country and economy. We should do this for our children’s future and in honor and memory of all of the victims of oil related wars and terrorism.

Thank you for your time.

Is everyone really a communist now days? Your comments on this post and others are hillarious. You have a young inexperienced pretty face talking very smoothly and is making obvious socialist comments and you still want to vote for him? Why would you care what your neighbor pays in taxes? One guy busts his ass and risks his assets to create an income for his family and hopefully create jobs for others and you tear him down? Unless all of you work for the government the job that you go to everyday initiated from one guy/girl or a group of investors having a dream of one day making money and creating wealth for themselves. You are a tool for another persons wealth creation. What is your goal? Do you really want to sit at home and do nothing and hope that your leader (Senator Government) will take care of you? What you do not realize is that once the incentive to create wealth is taken away the job creation stops. That means the job that you hate will go away. And guess what? Senator Government cannot save you. Embrace wealth creation or leave the country. We don't care! It will be better for those of us who work hard so we don't have to pay for you!!!!!

Like no one has skeltons in their closet. He said he “wanted too” . maybe joe the plumber has dreams of being more then a plumbers assistant!! you know like the dreams we all have of winning the lottery. Joe is an average “Joe” like the rest of us. he wants more outta life then what's being offered.
i think Joe is trying to make a buck and keep afloat like the rest of us. So instead of picking him clean, why don't you put yourself in his shoes. I neither for or against either Obama or McCain. I'm just looking for the best man to take care of the mess thats there now.

Joe the plumbers a real fake. He was probably paid by the Republicans or funded by McCain's Campaign. If not, he is probably an attention seeking whore.

http://fakejoe.blogspot.com

Some other asshat has already trademarked “Joe the Plumber”, so I'm already losing out.

Missing is the remark by Obama, telling Joe the Plumber, he is glad Joe desires to be successful….however……those who become successful in America through the use of ingenuity and hard work should be expected to “spread the wealth” around so others can become successful, as well, off the success of Joe the Plumber.

The wealth of the unjust is laid up for the just. Show some Godly Wisdom and help those less fortunate than yourself.

The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. They wanna go to work, but can't afford the gas to get there. Minimum wage only allows you to get gas to get to work. How are people suppose to feed themselves and their familie, pay bills, and provide healthcare for there families. The rich needs to help the poor. READ YOUR BIBLE!

It's not up to you!LOL How can you serve to masters. Any one who acknowledges God, prays for YOUR family can't be all that bad. He's had to struggle to get where he is. Thank God He is giving us opportunity for change, and there's nothing you or anyone else can do about it. Instead of talking about something you can't do anything about perhaps you should pray and ask God to put your choice in the White House. I wanna see if you are living righteous enough for God to answer you.

For all those who back Obama's plan to redistribute wealth in this country, you're next. First they will take away from the financially successful and then they'll take it from you. Oh not your money, just everything else.

Let me get this straight, you have no facts about Joe, but he's a fake? Nice insight into your thought process and those who are Obama supporters

Marilyn,
Yes the rich should help the poor, but no one should FORCED to give away their EARNINGS. The rich a.k.a. those making >$100,000 work incredibly hard for their money. You are parroting what you hear about the wealthy on the news. Immigrants moving into this country continue to find the American dream. You may want to go back and read your bible a bit more closely:

“If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” ( Job 36:11)

“Therefore keep the words of this covenant, and do them, that you may prosper in all that you do.” (Deuteronomy 29:9)
“… Here me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in the Lord your God and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.” (2 Chronicles 20:20)

“The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, but those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5)

“He who deals with a slack hand becomes poor, but the hand of the diligent makes one rich.” (Proverbs 10:4)

Weird,
You just don't get it. Americans are willing to give up all their rights and privileges to be cared for by big daddy GOVT. Clearly anyone successful in America accomplished this through unscrupulous means and not hard work. Its just not FAIR that anyone should have more than someone else. Its just not possible to succeed in America anymore. This clearly needs to be explained to Latin America, Asia and India understand in order to reduce immigration into the US.

Joe the wanna be plumber, or is it country star or is it skin head with a desire to rule the world with the help of Israel? Yes which poster child does this clown wana be with the help of the GOP. You neocons dug deep to find this “air head” for grandstanding “its all about me”. I myself think joe wants attention and would look good in a wig with lip stick and a skirt bought by the GOP. Sure than Sara and Joe could cross dress for “barbie doll” image. I heard he has a professional helping him learn how to talk so which was is the dummy and which one pulls the strings?(John McCain or Sara)?

Excuse me but it was you stupid neocons that first practiced Socialism seven plus years ago via the Monkey Shines of George Bush and Dick Cheney two idiots looking for a plumber to fix there plumbing of humanity. “Redistribution of Wealth” was take care of the New Millionaires and Billionaires, right Neocons? You would sit in your castle watching the gators eat your $$$$$$$$$$$ away ignoring and neglecting why gators like eating green stuff from GOP ranting idiots.
