It might take more than that to help out Gov. David Patterson's (D-NY) chief of staff, who didn't pay taxes for five years in NYS. $200k.

Yeah, I'm sure the media was really done digging around for stuff on politicians that they used their spare time to investigate Joe the Plumber. /

...Crunching the numbers, Obama's 28 male staffers were paid a total of $1,523,120 for an average salary of $54,397. Obama's 30 female employees divided $1,354,580 for a female average salary of $45,152. Obama's female staffers, on average, make just 83 cents to the dollar his male staffers make.

McCain's office, by contrast, is a feminist fantasy. McCain's 17 male staffers carve up $916,914 for an average salary of $53,936. His 25 female employees split $1,396,958 for average pay of $55,878. In McCain's office, a woman earns $1.04 for every buck a man makes.

What really pisses me off is clowns like Biden saying "how many plumbers do you know that make $250k a year?" Well, Biden (not Joe), a lot out here in CA. One of my Nephews makes 6 figures laying A/C ducting. Plus, we're talking about a BUSINESS, not an individual in Joe's case.

He wants to buy a business. This is not a fantasy. He has to hire people, something completely foreign to these senators. He has somebody to answer the phone, keep the books, write checks, and then a van or two, and then maybe one or two other people to help plumb. So, when he starts to get more than $250k, he needs to worry about this!

Hell, right now we're wondering how to handle this magic cut-off point. So, if we make $240k we're okay, but if we make $251k we're worse off than if we made $24k? WTF is up with that? Where on EARTH is any incentive to produce and hire people?!?

We're actually looking at setting our income so we don't make "X" amount as to be penalized. Talk about Bizarro world.

The only whiff of ass I'm getting is from the left. If Biden ever had a real job in his long, pathetic life he might have a clue, but that'll never happen.

Is it me, or did John McCain just use the S word regarding Obama's policies?

I believe he did. And he's right. But leave it to the media to get how taxes work to try and claim that McCain's health insurance makeover is socialism:

Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Saturday accused Democratic rival Barack Obama of favoring a socialistic economic approach by supporting tax cuts and tax credits McCain says would merely shuffle wealth rather than creating it.

"At least in Europe, the Socialist leaders who so admire my opponent are upfront about their objectives," McCain said in a radio address. "They use real numbers and honest language. And we should demand equal candor from Sen. Obama. Raising taxes on some in order to give checks to others is not a tax cut; it's just another government giveaway."

McCain, though, has a health care plan girded with a similar philosophy. He proposes providing individuals with a $5,000 tax credit to buy health insurance. He would pay for his plan, in part, by considering as taxable income the money their employer spends on their health coverage.

I get the impression the "Joe the plumber" thing has legs.

it is such a bogus hippie dippy stupid hackneyed term.

I don't identify with Joe's work and lifestyle. Mine is different.

It's more in sync with some of Obama's most fervent supporters. More book learned, more educated then Joe. Not that educated always means smart as some prove by who they are supporting.

But I need the Joes of America in my life or my car wouldn't run well and the toilet if needed wouldn't be repaired, and there would be no one to protect and defend me and my family.

If the Joes gets paid for doing good hard work, the government shouldn't penalize and take away their income to share it with people who don't work as hard as Joe, or at all.

I support Joe 100% because at the end of the day, Joe, or any other productive American, will suffer under what Obama plans for us all. And that is something the more educated Obama supporters- those who look down on Joe- seem unable to grasp.

The whole "share the wealth" mantra highlights the complete moronic mindset of the liberal left: "We give people free money and there will be light and music and bunnies and unicorns." If they truly wanted to help people, there would be programs that emphasized developing personal responsibility within a set time period.

Lizards and Obama Supporters:

A new report examines Obama's use of Neurolinguistic programming and hypnosis techniques in his speeches. This report takes you through speech by speech to reveal the actual phrases and techniques he is using to by-pass the logical rational minds of his followers.

If I hadn't just read some of the original research, (as I am finishing my degree in counseling), on these mass hypnosis techniques and how they were employed by the soviets, I would have been skeptical. But this report lays it out step, by step.

What in the world?

IMO the audience for SNL should start chanting "I am Joe" if the cast strt any skit mocking the guy who is being hounded mercilessly for asking a question that a candidate could not answer... especially when the candidate randomly came to his house... if anyone should be mocked for the way this has gone it is the O' and the media in the tank doing his dirty work for him and the assholes who are suddenly finding that he needs to have a tax lien (and God knows what else will be done to him before or after the election by the NAZI's* on the left) etc...

*and yes the NAZI's were leftists. They were xenophobic Socialists as opposed to Communists who are international socialists...

My husband and I worked hard for what we have, never asked for a hand out. By today's standards we are doing well. Look behind the "now" and you will see us working and doing whatever it takes to "make it". Him selling plasma when things got tight, working and going to school at night and cleaning a daycare after classes. Me working and on weekends sticking kids in a Radio Flyer going door to door selling Avon. Kids working while in high school if they wanted a car much less gas for it and insurance. One son every Saturday morning would get up and mow our lawn then go around the neighborhood with the lawnmower making money mowing neighbor's lawns coming home when it was dark. Daughters making flyers advertising babysitting services. We are like millions of other Joe's in this country, we are America.

ScrappleFace Editorial Board Endorses Barack Obama

Rarely has one man so captivated a nation with his readiness to prepare to serve.

That’s why the editorial board at ScrappleFace, on behalf of the vast editorial staff, today endorses Barack Obama for the office of junior senator from Illinois.

Although the prospect of an Obama presidency, from a satirical perspective, represents a hopeful future of full employment, the editors of ScrappleFace cannot let their own needs stand in the way of the needs of the Senate, or indeed, of the people of the world.

Barack Obama’s temperament makes him ideally suited to an institution that President George Washington reportedly once called ‘the cooling saucer’ of the Republic. Evidence of Mr. Obama’s suitability for this role is manifold…

According to friends (who he calls ‘Obam-associates’) , Barack Obama is so cool…

* The only reason he doesn’t smoke very often is that the flame on his cigarette keeps going out.
* Once, during a conference committee meeting, Rep. Barney Frank borrowed Sen. Obama’s pen, and immediately got his tongue stuck to its frosty surface. Even then, Sen. Obama was so cool, he just reached over and snapped the pen from Rep. Frank’s mouth, leaving the grateful Congressman with no lasting effect but a barely-noticeable speech impediment.
* At a recent concert and political rally, when Bruce Springsteen got ‘The Fever’, he skipped the Tylenol, because his friend Barack was there. When The Boss sang ‘I’m on Fire’, Sen. Obama extinguished him.
* When his wife Michelle, his former pastor Jeremiah Wright, or a guy in his neighborhood named Bill Ayers, occasionally let loose with fiery outbursts of anger, just being near Barack Obama allows them to ‘chill’ like a typical white grandmother, shivering because she just saw a black man.
* Despite his elite education in private schools and substantial wealth acquired through individual initiative, he calmly tells fellow African-Americans that their only hope lies in dependence upon union bosses and government social programs.
* When pondering the fate of an aborted infant, accidentally born alive, he can dispassionately discourse on whether the mother’s right to privacy, under the Roe v. Wade amendment to the Constitution, should continue until the baby’s first, or second, bounce on the delivery room floor.

The Modern Little Red Hen

The Little Red Hen called all of her Democrat neighbors together and said, ‘If we plant this wheat, we shall have bread to eat. Who will help me plant it?’

‘Not I,’ said the cow.
‘Not I,’ said the duck.

‘Not I,’ said the pig.

‘Not I,’ said the goose.

‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen, and so she did. The wheat grew very tall and ripened into golden grain. ‘Who will help me reap my wheat?’ asked the little red hen.

‘Not I,’ said the duck.
‘Out of my classification,’ said the pig.

‘I’d lose my seniority,’ said the cow.

‘I’d lose my unemployment compensation,’ said the goose.

‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen, and so she did. At last it came time to bake the bread.

‘Who will help me bake the bread?’ asked the little red hen.
‘That would be overtime for me,’ said the cow.

‘I’d lose my welfare benefits,’ said the duck.

‘I’m a dropout and never learned how,’ said the pig.

‘If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,’ said the goose.

‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, ‘No, I shall eat all five loaves.’

‘Excess profits!’ cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
‘Capitalist leech!’ screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)

‘I demand equal rights!’ yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)

The pig just grunted in disdain. (Chris Dodd)

And they all painted ‘Unfair!’ picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, ‘You must not be so greedy.’

‘But I earned the bread,’ said the little red hen.
‘Exactly,’ said Barack the farmer. ‘That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.’

I AM JOE! And I am livid about the character assassination being carried out on behalf of The One, with not a peep from the Obamessiah, who obviously endorses and encourages such ugly tactics. After all, Barry plainly told his supporters to "get in their face." This on-going ugliness gets laid squarely at Obama's feet.

Can you even IMAGINE what Michelle will do to the White House?

God Forbid

Just a reminder ... The US tax system relies on voluntary compliance. Once in a while a little muscle needs to be applied but that's only effective because most people more or less honestly fill in their forms and send in their checks. BUT. It's been well documented that the level of compliance rises and falls with the perception that the tax system is fair. And 90% of the taxes are paid by a very small minority of the super-rich, i.e., those folks who can easily afford expensive tax lawyers who can find ways for them to save their money. Lots of their money. Again, resort to sophisticated tax planning techniques (as well as outright cheating) increases exponentially as tax rates increase on the wealthy and perception of fairness falls.

SO. If Obama, God forbid, should ever implement the disastrous tax policies he's proposing, policies that no one except the people who aren't paying them could possibly perceive as fair, then the level of compliance will plummet, which means revenue will decrease, dramatically, which means ... at some point the pendulum will swing back. As it has in the past. The Democrats have very short memories.

/what happens if I taunt you?

Well hello again all y'all - got most of the chores done (y'all have no idea how hard you have to work when you're retired!).
Love this Iowahawk article. Truly.

But American "elites" haven't always been so scornful of the "Joes" in America. Indeed, our Founding Fathers needed and appreciated "Joe's" much more than do the "elities" of today.
The good citizens of Boston, for example, actually had to go around and raise money to buy Samuel Adams a decent suit of clothes he could wear to Philadelphia in July of 1776 and indeed helped him "cover" the cost of his transportation to get there.
And, yes of course there were slaves back then and yes some of our Founding Fathers owned slaves, but the slaves were used for, almost excusively manuel labor - pickin' cotton and what not. Skilled laborers such as our Joe were frequently "indentured servants" (a/k/a "apprentices") who learned via extremely hard work and long hours, how to make something or repair something of value. When they completed their terms of indentured servitude they went on to start their own businesses.
Ya know, sorta like Joe - work 12 or more hours a day 7 days a week [have y'all noticed how Joe's work hours and days seem to almost equal Charles?!]in an effort to move up the ladder so to speak. This looking down upon the Joe's is relatively new: we didn't have many "elites" in America, in days gone by, nor anywhere near as many people who thought they were part of the "elites" and that is the real "magic" of the Democratic Party: they manage to make office workers in cubby's, who frequently do work more than 40 hours a week, but who live in the big coastal cities - preferably near a Starbucks - and who do not, quite literally, get their hands dirty, believe that they too are part of the elites. And because they are part of the elities they do have a tendancy to look down upon those of us in "flyover country" who are "Joe's".
Is it any wonder or surprise that the (truly wannabe) "elites" support the Democrats? THEIR taxes aren't going up - at least according to Obama -only those filthy rich Republicans will finally begin to bear their fare share of the burden of supporting America.

‘I’d lose my seniority,’ said the cow.

‘I’d lose my unemployment compensation,’ said the goose.

‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen, and so she did. At last it came time to bake the bread.

‘Who will help me bake the bread?’ asked the little red hen.
‘That would be overtime for me,’ said the cow.

‘I’d lose my welfare benefits,’ said the duck.

‘I’m a dropout and never learned how,’ said the pig.

‘If I’m to be the only helper, that’s discrimination,’ said the goose.

‘Then I will do it by myself,’ said the little red hen.

She baked five loaves and held them up for all of her neighbors to see. They wanted some and, in fact, demanded a share. But the little red hen said, ‘No, I shall eat all five loaves.’

‘Excess profits!’ cried the cow. (Nancy Pelosi)
‘Capitalist leech!’ screamed the duck. (Barbara Boxer)

‘I demand equal rights!’ yelled the goose. (Jesse Jackson)

The pig just grunted in disdain. (Chris Dodd)

And they all painted ‘Unfair!’ picket signs and marched around and around the little red hen, shouting obscenities.
Then the farmer (Obama) came. He said to the little red hen, ‘You must not be so greedy.’

‘But I earned the bread,’ said the little red hen.
‘Exactly,’ said Barack the farmer. ‘That is what makes our free enterprise system so wonderful. Anyone in the barnyard can earn as much as he wants. But under our modern government regulations, the productive workers must divide the fruits of their labor with those who are lazy and idle.’

i don't think " the little red hen" is taught in 1st. grade anymore.
i'm sure it's something just like this.

Welcome to the secret fellowship of conservative teachers who kept their mouths closed at work to avoid hassles.

I think there are some teachers who truly think they're too good to teach LEARN. They are usually always liberal.

hope you don't mind the edit

Joe was a regular guy
Who didn't buy Obama's big lie

Lost Obama some steam

In 1992, my then-husband and I decided to move back to Virginia from Oxford because we'd earn half as much in England while the cost of living was twice as much.

i LOVED living in Oxford, but coming back to America was the best decision ever.

I'm an adjunct professor and my husband is a full professor. We are both conservatives and no one at our jobs has any idea. I'm sure I would never be rehired if it came out. As I've noted before here, one of my favorite quotes is "Never try to teach a pig to sing. It wastes your time and annoys the pig."

Not at all!

Canvassers, not ACORN, at fault

King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg, a Republican, said last year that the ACORN case in Seattle had nothing to do with manipulating outcomes and everything to do with the workers' efforts to keep their $8-an-hour jobs. If anyone was defrauded, it was ACORN, an acronym for Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.

Satterberg just lost my vote. Course he's got to kiss the County Execs ass to get funding but still no vote from me.

Hey 0bama, get it straight:

I bet - especially since you escaped the huge deterioration which set in after Tony B and NuLab came to power in 1997.

Obama is doing his Pie speech again.

Just like the Demo☭rats who will always blame the voters if their candidates lose.

I am Jo(sephine).

re: #184 kynna

There are Joes all over the world who have suffered under socialism. It's not US-centric, IMO. Of course you can be a Joe. Anyone who wants a better life and wants not to be punished for succeeding is a Joe, I think.

I'd love for the 'I Am Joe' movement to take over the world.

I know a guy from Canada who married a Ukrainian woman and moved to Ukraine. They are working hard to build a good life for themselves in a former Communist country. Recently they sank their life savings into buying a truck from the U.S. so they can start an auto salvage business. The risk they are taking is breathtaking. It's also the essence of the "American" dream, which is actually a dream of people the world over.

This guy is Joe.

You are a racists I do suppose
pounding on your keyboard with those ugly toes
sitting in your underwear picking your nose
insulting the messiah's wife with your ones and zero's

re-educated you obviously need to be
freedom of speech is for me not thee
socialist indoctrination your mind will free
from anything resembling personal responsibility.
