DEAR JOE BIDEN: WHY ISN’T ‘JOE THE PLUMBER’ REAL?

Democratic vice presidential nominee Joe Biden questioned whether Joe “the plumber” Wurzelbacher is a “real” plumber Thursday after the Ohio citizen vaulted to the front of campaign dialogue during the final presidential debate.

Biden said he isn’t worried that Wurzelbacher would not get a tax cut under Obama’s plan.

"We think we should give that to the real Joe the plumbers, who make $65,000, $70,000, $80,000 bucks a year,” Biden said on CBS’s “Early Show.”


OUR RESPONSE:

Dear Joe Biden:

Granted my state is expensive, but the last time I talked to a plumber, he quoted me $200 an hour. (I am a lawyer, and I charge $295 an hour).

Plumbers make good money.

So why is not Joe a “real” plumber? Because he does well?

The very reason we should vote against Obama-Biden is you want plumbers to make only “$65,000, $70,000, $80,000 bucks a year.”

And if they make $250,000 a year, you will take part of that away—NOT to fund essential services, BUT to “spread the wealth around” and give it to those plumbers who are less successful.

It’s called socialism, Joe. It is what we have fought wars to protect this country against.
