"Steve the Lotto Winner"
Edited on Thu Oct-16-08 09:22 AM by gmoney
Steve the Lotto Winner is supporting McCain because he feels Barack Obama will excessively tax his winnings to the point where it would hardly make it worth winning the lottery.

Steve hasn't actually WON the lottery yet, but someday he hopes to! And that represents the American dream, and to many, the American retirement plan! So he wants to make SURE that when he wins, he gets to keep it all, and isn't forced to "spread the wealth around."

Asked how often he purchases lottery tickets, Steve replied "Oh, well, I don't buy lottery tickets. But that doesn't mean I won't win someday! I like to plan ahead."

1. Umm.. he won the lottery...
Every person who plugs up their shitter within a 50 mile radius of Joe's business is going to call him now. He got more free advertising in one night then most will get in a lifetime.

Joe hit the lottery.. he just didn't have to buy a ticket.

:)

Just trying to make a point about Joe's purported attitude.

And why choose a plumber? Everyone already thinks plumbers are overpaid...

After hearing about the guy, I would never call him to give him my business...
