What Obama thinks of Joe The Plumber
I hope his toilet backs up...If he uses one.
Good thought! I hope his toilet backs up and overflows!
I have came to the conclusion that the left wing idiots don’t really care who gets stepped on, looses their jobs or anything along that line, all they want is that free handout they are going to get when the O gets to the top step!
What Joe-the-Plumber should have said:
“So, let me see if I got this straight - as long as I don’t get uppity, and try and rise above my station, you won’t raise my taxes?
You’ll even let me keep more of my money if I stay in my place, right?”
Shame on you for making fun of his baby crib!
Mock plumbers for wanting something more. Mock small towns when your opponent announces their VP choice. Order lobster and caviar to your room while in NYC. Ah, yes.....the Dem candidate is for the working man, alright. This and ACORN are going to be 0bama’s undoing.
Mock those who cling to their guns and religion.
Can this get moved to breaking news? I know it was posted several times last night but this is an incredibly impactful interview.
I think McCain/Palin needs to take this video, incorporate it
into a video of their own of the left totally destroying the little guy
who wants to go somewhere.
All us little people could change this election fast.
I agree. This video is stunning. If the feel uncomfortable about the edit show the whole quote. Obama’s disdain for middle America and the middle class is clearly evident.
Marxist intellectuals - always standing up for the working guy.
Perfect...
Barack is a Sociopath. Look up the profile of one.
Hmmm ought help with the blue collar voters he was trying to get.
This is SOLID GOLD for McCain. Hope to God they use it to the max.
“I want to thank Senator Obama for the compliment. Yes, I’m looking out for Joe the plumber. I don’t mock entrepreneurs who want to create businesses and jobs and prosperity. That’s the American way. While Senator Obama concerns himself with helping the abortion industry and the trial lawyer associations, I’ll clear the road for Joe the plumber, and Sally the _____, and Bill the ____, and anyone else who wants to live the American Dream.”
Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing. The fifth would pay $1. The sixth would pay $3 The seventh would pay $7. The eighth would pay $12. The ninth would pay $18. The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.
So, that's what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. 'Since you are all such good customers,' he said, 'I'm going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. 'Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers?
How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his 'fair share?' They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody's share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man's bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.
And so the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings). The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33% savings). The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28% savings). The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings). The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 ( 22% savings). The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).
Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings. 'I only got a dollar out of the $20,' declared the sixth man.
He pointed to the tenth man,' but he got $10! "Yeah, that's right,' exclaimed the fifth man. 'I only saved a dollar, too.. It's unfair that he got ten times more than I! "That's true!!' shouted the seventh man. 'Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!
"Wait a minute,' yelled the first four men in unison. 'We didn't get anything at all. The system exploits the poor! 'The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up. The next night the tenth man (the richest) didn't show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn't have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!
And that, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
