So Joe the Plumber doesn't wanna pay 3% more on his $300,000 income?

Thats gonna resonate with the average American.

1. Depends on the average american

I know many that think when McNumbnuts says tax cuts they think he is talking about them and they make no where near $250,000 a year. They also believe that Obama will raise their taxes, its breed into them I think lol.

2. You have to understand McCain was using him to symbolize

the middle class. That's why Obama started winning the Joe the Plumber exchanges when he brought Joe into the middle class instead of leaving him in McCain's fantasy 250,000 $ barrier.

3. 250,000 dollars

Don't forget that is NET worth. Let me have it, I'lll pay whatever tazes they think are fair. My only question is, why will no one just come out and say they are talking about Wal-Mart not paying for health care?

4. EXACTLY!

:nopity:

5. Remember that it's only 3% extra on the portion of his income ABOVE $250,000.

In any case, this guy doesn't really make that much money -- he was just speculating.

8. Precisely...

I was just about to post this. It's only on the additional income ABOVE $250,000. So if it's $300,000, his taxes will stay the same up to $250,000 and then increase from 36% to 39% for the additional $50,000. Remember now that a lot of Americans make $50,000 TOTAL and this asshat is whining about 3% higher taxes on $50,000 when he's already got $250,000 in the bank with no additional taxes.

6. Apparently he doesn't really want to vote either....

word on the street is, he's not even registered to vote. :rofl:

7. He told Katie Couric he doesn't make $250,000

and that people be worried about when Obama is going to decide to raise taxes on $100,000. Which it didn't sound like he makes that much either.

He's a tool.
