<The issue is not what Joe the plumber said to Obama. The issue is what did Obama mean when he said we need to spread the wealth around.> What did he mean??? He means if you're making 250 K your taxes will go up!! THATS WHAT HE MEANS! Is that a surprise? <We are a stupid people if we look to the government to improve our lot.> Imporve our lot!? The government now MUST IMPROVE THE LOT OF OUR GRANDKIDS by paying down the debt... it's not can they... THEY MUST. Thanks to decades of mismanagement. If you're making more than 250K you're one of the lucky ones who gets to pay a little extra going forward. DAK

I'm not up for engaging with your "I wanna pick another fight" post.

Spreading the wealth. Think of a tribe. Hard winter. One guy finds a frozen mastadone. enugh food for the whole trive for a long time. But he doesn't want to share. ssociety as the right to tell him he has to share. Why, you might ask? Well from a crass stand point, the society provides protection and needs to reamin strong! He has the right to leave, but he will not suvive.

You want to see real limited government, take a look at the Congo.

95% of Americans, including the non-plumber Joe, makes LESS that $250,000 a year and will get a TAX CUT under Obama and in turn a TAX INCREASE under McCain. And I don't give a SH*t what the other 5% will do when they are making millions each and every year. So get a FREAKING CLUE!!!! This country is about the 95% of the people who have seen their wages plummet, their houses foreclosed and their jobs shipped oversees, not the 5% that have been made out like bandits (literally) and been screwing us for the last 8 years. GO OBAMA!!!!
