But he said he was a plumber And he is one, whether or not he has a license and whether or not one is required. And its required in Toledo, not in the whole state. Toledo isn't very large, in addition to any possibly illegal plumbing he can clearly legally do work outside the city. Oh bull. There are a lot of hurdles to starting a business...taxes are the least of them Hardly the least. And other problems don't change the point. If other problems are large that doesn't decrease the impact of higher taxes, its likely to increase the impact. If your going to go through all those other problems you are going to want a good return, the higher the taxes, the lower the return, and the less incentive to put up with all the other stuff you have to go through.

The owner of a plumbing business need not be a licensed plumber. An employee of a plumbing business need not be a licensed plumber. And actually, I cannot find anywhere that Joe the Plumber actually SAID he was a plumber. During the Clinton administration a term was coined for what has happened to this man: "The Politics of Personal Destruction". He has been attacked just like Clinton attacked anyone who opposed him. Joe clearly recognizes that Obama is a Marxist and he doesn't want any of it, just like millions of the rest of us.
