Plumber and Plumberer

Well now, this is interesting.

Apparently Joe Plumber owes back taxes (big whoop) and doesn't actually make more than $250,000 a year...thereby falling into the bracket that Barak proposes would get a "tax cut."

Could someone have turned the tables and lied to Obama? We shall see.
The interesting thing to me is how Politico is quick to claim the McCain campaign hung to much on this guy on the fly for the last debate. Quite clearly they missed the point, whether Joe Plumber is telling the truth (and is indeed a plumber to begin with) is entirely irrelevant. What Obama said about wealth redistribution is the point, which I think the McCain campaign clearly demonstrated in the ad I showed you last post.

So, sure Joe Wurzelbacher got famous on false pretenses, but the truth he extracted remains.
