5. My husband is a plumber

Last year his income was a lot more than that. Now, because of the stagnant housing issue it is more akin to this.

7. Which proves Obama's point...if you spread wealth to the working class

they buy stuff...like plumbing services...which then enriches your family to buy goods and services. If the middle class is scraping buy then it shuts the machine down.

6. Even then...

a single no-dependent plumber making the median income would get a $500 break under Obama and $0 under McCain according to Obama's tax calculator.

8. Where's the "Plumbers for Obama" sign?

Someone needs to make a real sign, not just a JPEG.

9. Apparently Joe the Plumber made $40,000 in 2006 accd to other sources on this boards....
