"Joe said the business makes $250K+ not that he would make that. Big difference."

"Do you have any clue what it is to have a small business? I own a computer repair business. What the business makes is what I make. "I" have to pay the taxes on what the business makes. Obama wants to take part of what I earn and give it to someone that does not want to work for money.

A cop with a bit of O.T. on the year who is married to an R.N. who have their home in the San Francisco bay area can easily top 250k

And still be struggling, especially if they've got kids.

It would be great for a voter to ask Obama if he’s ever started or run a business before...and hopefully get it on video.

in business 250k a year is nothing

My parents used to run a small business and my sister owns a small shop in VA. You're right 250k is nothing. I don't know what Biden was thinking. Or am I asking too much for Biden?

sorry about that.

It is hard to accurately parody the angry left without the vulgarity.

And is Joe Biden now Chinese? Look at his eyes. Looks like he had some really bad botox.

They are seriously casting aspersions on Joe the Plumber .. they are calling hima pro-McCain Republican !!

He will be the ‘08 version of the guy who asked Kerry about the measure he voted against before he voted for it (or was it the other way around?)

“Biden says he doesn’t know any plumber’s who make 250k. Nor does he know any store owner, cop yada, yada, yada! Folks, in business 250k a year is nothing when you cosider what you have to pay in unemployment ins., workmans comp and other things that a business has to deal with...”

Joe is TRYING to divert the subject...which Obama campaign has been good at...until Joe the Plumber! WHAT was said is that Joe the Plumber is a plumber and wants to BUY the company he is working for. Joe just doesn’t get it. And he does look goofy with all that botox. Kind of reminds me of Kerry when he had facial things done before he got his prissy butt kicked by Bush!!!

When the elite start attacking the working stiffs, you know there’s a problem. Anybody send this to Drudge and others?

Drudge has it. It was a leader at the top left.

An LLC, sole proprietorship or 1099 are in the same boat. Add to that insurance for the business, double social security taxes and you have a joke.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It is true that a quarter million a year is peanuts now in the context of overall revenue of a business but people are failing to be precise about the difference between business revenue and the taxable income of the owner! As a former small business owner I can tell you that a quarter million taxable to the owner is a figure that a large percentage of owners never attain. Listening to Obama, Biden and McCain it is hard to tell which they mean. I think this is one of the biggest things wrong now, this country was founded by men who understood precision in language, they would be dumbfounded to see how words are thrown around now as if flinging mud against the walls. A lot of the arguments going on now are the result of people not being able to communicate clearly or not caring to do so. I know I am often at a loss to say exactly what it was that the candidates really meant to say.
Joe Biden is such a case that I find it amazing that he has been in the Senate so long. Biden seems to have zero concern as to whether what he says is truthful or accurate or makes any sense whatsoever or can be deciphered by the listener.
