Say it ain’t so, Joe, I mean Sam
October 16th, 2008
“Joe the Plumber,” the Toledo, Ohio, man whose complaints about Barack Obama’s tax plan were featured in the final presidential debate, owes the state of Ohio almost $1,200 in back income taxes.
According to records on file with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, the state filed a tax lien against Samuel J. Wurzelbacher for $1,182.98 on Jan. 26, 2007, that is still active.

Also turns out Joe isn’t a licensed plumber; the company he wants to buy only makes about $100,000 a year not $250,000; and he only makes $40,000 so the Obama tax cuts would have favored him.

I guess the McCain campaign vetted “Joe” about as much as they vetted Sarah Palin!

Bogus point. So he should be satisfied with $40,000 and accept the Obama tax plan? Why can’t Americans look to the future and hope to make more than $250,000? I do. And if I am successful I don’t want someone else “spreading it around”.
