Joe "the Racist" Plumber: Obama tap dances just like Sammy Davis Jr.

Didn't take long for good old Joe to take off the hood:

"McCain was solid in his performance," he says. "I still don't know where he stands," he says of Obama. "I'm middle class. I can't have my taxes raised any more."

He also says he actually isn't in the bracket where Obama would raise his taxes -- but he's worried that Obama will shift the bracket down.

He also said that, in his encounter with Obama, the Illinois Senator "a tap dance...almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr."

1. What isn't clear to me about Joe the Plumber:

does he have a six pack?

2. What amazes me - so many look at taxes paid but never look at

services received. Edit to add - most folks have any conception of what services are received such as weights & measures, the court system etc.
My personal costs have gone up dramatically due to cut back in services. If we went to single payer health care, I could lop off @12,000 a year for a tax raise of about 3 or 4,000. Sounds like a deal to me.
Privatising many services has drastically raised their costs because so many hands are dipping in the till.
