The point you are missing is that under Obama's plan Joe pays additional taxes and that money does not go into hiring new employees and expanding his business. good paying jobs are scarce and this will make them scarcer. It is not the fact that Joe pays more or less taxes that matters to us, it is the fact that his ability to expand and provide additional jobs is impaired. Obama's strongest point in my opinion is that we have privitized profits and socialized losses. But his plan, so far as I am aware does not even address this. And he just voted for the bailout which does exactly that. McCain tries to project himself as some kind of free market advocate, hell he doesn't even believe in free speech, let alone free market. So the choice is between bad and worse and you can decide which is which. Little joe

Joe Wurzelbacher doesn't immediately turn up in the Ohio voter registration database, leading to some speculation last night that he's not registered to vote. But the Toledo Blade reports that he appears to be a registered Republican, and a primary voter at that: Linda Howe, executive director of the Lucas County Board of Elections, said a Samuel Joseph Worzelbacher, whose address and age match Joe the Plumber’s, registered in Lucas County on Sept. 10, 1992. He voted in his first primary on March 4, 2008, registering as a Republican. Ms. Howe said that the name may be misspelled in the database. (This is, incidentally, the reason people worry about purging the voter rolls. They're such a mess to begin with.) politico.com
