Meet Joe Wurzelbacher

Have you heard of Joe Wurzelbacher, or as he is now known, Joe the Plumber? I bet you a dollar to a donut that Senator Barack Hussein 0bama wished he never met him. Recently, while campaigning in Ohio and working the rope line; Senator Barack Hussein 0bama met Joe the Plumber. When Joe expressed his concern over Senator Barack Hussein 0bama’s tax plan, he received this reply –

"It’s not that I want to punish your success, I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they’ve got a chance at success, too. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody.”


Why didn’t Senator Barack Hussein 0bama just tell Joe “from each according to his abilities to each according to his needs” and then move on. That’s only twelve words compared to the forty-one words of bull he spieled out to Joe. However, this Joe is not your average Joe. Wait, that’s wrong. He is your average Joe. He is the common working man who gets up every morning, puts in an honest days work, and then comes home to take care of his son. Let me tell you a little bit about these average Joes.

These average Joe’s make up the majority of this great country. They are mechanics, plumbers, electricians, elevator repairmen, builders, construction workers, bricklayers – the men and women that build things, fix things that make this country work. I also include in this bunch the firemen, police officers, teachers, and military personnel that ensure our safety and take care of our children.

I have worked with leftists and listened to their disdain for the common working man. I have heard them talk down to waiters and waitresses. I hear them comment on how uneducated these people are, labeling them rednecks and other names I cannot write down less you are offended. Yet when someone breaks into their home, who do they call? These leftists are so smart yet they cannot replace a spark plug. However, America's working men and women understand what is happening to this country.

Mr. Wurzelbacher – Joe the Plumber – nails what Senator Barack Hussein 0bama wants to do to the working men and women of this country. Its socialism, plain and simple.

Let me explain it this way. You have a plumber –a single man – that makes 85,000 dollars a year and pays 28 percent in taxes. The government steals from him at the point of a gun 23,800 dollars. If you raise this working mans taxes by 3 percent – up to 31 percent – then the government is now stealing from this working man 26,350 dollars. Due to this 3 percent increase in taxes, this plumber is now unable to hire a helper. However, if you lower this plumbers taxes by 3 percent – from 28 to 25 percent, the government now steals from this worker 21,250 dollars. Now, the plumber can hire a helper at 35,000 a year. At 22 percent, the government steals from the helper 7,700 dollars. Combined, the government is now taking in 28,950, an increase of 2,600 dollars from the 26,350 the government steals from the single plumber taxing him at 31 percent. Multiplied by millions of workers and businesses and the federal government actually takes in more money by lowering taxes then by raising taxes. Why is this so hard for people to understand?

When the government raises taxes, people spend less. The less people spend – at stores, restaurants, services – less people are hired. Less money goes into the economy. I understand this. Joe the Plumber understands this. Why can’t leftists understand this? The dirty secret is that they do understand this. It is not about raising money or even redistributing wealth. It is about control! It is socialism! I know this and so do Joe the Plumber!

Many of you know dozens of Joe Wurzelbacher’s. Some of you are a Joe Wurzelbacher. Why should you or any Joe Wurzelbacher be punished for working hard. Come this November, you have the choice of punishing the Joe Wurzelbacher’s of this country or give him a break. Do not punish the working man by voting for Senator Barack Hussein 0bama. If you agree with this, pass it on. If not, delete it and then go vote your freedom away.
