The plumber without a plumbers license and owing in back taxes? I wonder if he wishes he could give back his 15 minutes of fame.

I could make you a list of people who owe back taxes, including me and a LOT of preachers. That's no disgrace -- it is evidence of the confiscatory nature of the current tax system that Obama will make exponentially worse. You're about to see MILLIONS of people owing back taxes if Barack gets elected.

Yes, and people out of jobs. Take it from me: "Richie the plumber". :wink:

Guys in these trades commonly work without a license, but under the license of the business owner. Electricians, contractors, plumbers .... they all do it. The guy says he plans to get the license if he can position himself to buy the business. But, why should he do what the American dream offers to small business people everywhere if the government under Obama is going to confiscate his money and redistribute it to spread the wealth? He shouldn't use his energy to make the government richer and more powerful and more able to work against him.

Back taxes? Big deal. The money ain't Caesar's, it is Joe's.

The thing that gets me, KB, is that it is supposedly okay to vote for what's good for your pocketbook as long as the government is the one responsible for helping you, but it is NOT okay to WORK for what's good for your pocketbook as long as you're doing it in ways that keep the government out of your business. There is absolutely zero virtue in any government that puts its hands in your pockets. Zero.

All I was meaning with my comment on no license and back taxes, is that if it were me, I would be wishing for that "limelight" never to have happened. Now, those who work with him or possible clients know he has not paid his taxes on time and is operating without a license, whatever his reasons may be. It could affect his business.
Let the wild rumpus start!

I agree whole heartly with you Paully.

My thought is "representation." Joe the Plumber represents alot of people who actually do have licenses and small business and dreams. However, this will go down the drown quickly with Obama.

It was a gotcha moment for Obama. One that he has not had at all in the campaign
