Everyone Must Vote

Joe the plumber come into the spotlight as a self proclaimed potential victim of Barack Obama’s tax plan. The only problem is that Joe decided to lie about some of the key claims. Joe said he is a plumber who wants to purchase the purchase the business that he currently works for because the company currently makes $250,000 – $280,000 making him subject to being taxed by Obama’s tax increase to those making $250,000 or more.

Joe failed to mention that the company is not for sale. He also failed to mention that the company isn’t worth $250,000 or more … it is only worth about $100,000 making him eligible for a tax cut under Obama’s plan. He also failed to mention that he doesn’t and never has had, a plumber’s license which is required to practice in his area of service. Joe is a mouth piece, a show and completely irrelevant. His “alleged” situation does not resonate with any Americans struggling during this economic downturn. McCain’s and Palin’s insistence on using him as their symbol of Middle-class America is a clear reflection of how out of touch the Republicans are with the American people.

Americans find themselves in need of progress. Progress in the economy, progress in the dealings on Wall Street, progress in the regulation in Washington. The last thing we need to do is step backwards when it comes to Racial Equality.
