JW: Essentially what that would do is, I’d have to see how much money is available after everything else is paid, to see if I can one, afford a new vehicle, two, outfit it, and then three, pay a good salary. And if I’m being taxed too much, one of those three things is going to get shorted. One, I won’t be able to buy as good a good vehicle or I won’t stock it as well, or the guy I hire – if I’m able to hire somebody – is not going to make as much as he should.
PM:...if you were just starting out, or maybe looking back – the kind of tax cut that he’s promising for other people, does that still make you think that that’s a great idea?
JW: No. See, I believe in working for what I get. I don’t want to say it’s a handout, but essentially that’s what it comes down to. You’re going to tax someone else more that’s been working hard to fulfill the American Dream and you’re gonna give it to other people who – I’m not saying they don’t work as hard, but I’m sure some of them don’t – and I don’t think it’s right just to give it to them or reduce taxes on their part and hike it up on my part like a teeter totter to bring it back even. So no, that wouldn’t – well, let me rephrase that. It would appeal to me because back then I was struggling. That kind of thing appeals to me – anybody wants to cut my taxes, I look at it very seriously, it’s like, it sounds great. But you gotta see what the other hand is doing too

McCain should have had Joe debate in his place!
The guy is more eloquent about McCain’s plan than McCain is.
Soon Obama will say “I have a plumber too” and usher in some poor sap who wants the guhvment to take care of him.
I am convinced that Obama’s “door to door” stunt of asking for votes is going to be his version of Michael Dukakis riding in a tank back in ‘88. That’s where he met Joe the Plumber and where we got that great video.
Wasn’t there a big “Polish Plumber” scare in France a while back? Why can’t liberals and plumbers just get along?
putting B. Hussein Obama’s photo on that disctracts from the message and makes it look like an Obama add.
I thought with the way his mouth is screwed up and the way his ears stick out, it looked more like it was mocking him. Most people love it.
