IMHO, McCain won but the polls say just the opposite. I think he addressed the "Joe the plumber" issue much better than Obama when he said he's going to let "Joe" keep his own wealth rather than the Obama plan of spreading Joe's wealth around. That's part of the problem now, what YOU make and what I make is spread around and we can't keep what we have to secure our own futures. Thank God I had the foresight many years ago to secure my own financial independence in my retirement that I am enjoying now and not everybody else that may be enjoying theirs at MY expense.

I don't think Joe the plumber did much for most of the people watching. First off, I didn't know plumbers made over 250K. Second, this guy wants us to believe that people making 250K and up won't be able to start businesses under Obama's plan. I don't think most people believe that.

That may sound like a lot to the average person but that's not really his take home. When you realize the equipment, tools, and truck along with extra crews when needed, that's not a lot. Add to that your insurances, licenses and other expenses, it's not a lot of money. At the time Joe asked about buying his bosses business. You then have a bank loan too. Senator Obama made it clear Joe's profits should be taken and used to help someone else. A tax increase. I wonder why he doesn't say the same thing to his Hollywood friends or fellow lawyers? Your salary is capped at $250,000, the rest goes for taxes. That's what he wants to do for the CEO's and apparently Joe Six Pack, but doesn't tell that to his people. Go figure. Liberal Socialism at work once again.

Then who is the 'he' you are referring to here?

Oh, I get it, this is part of his 'Secret Agenda' that we won't know about until we wake up one morning to find Obama has changed the flag, rewritten the Constitution, and mothballed the entire military, right?

Apparently few of you realize that most small to medium businesses are S-type Corps,LLC, and such, where the company is all shown as a pass through on personal income tax. Obama's tax plan would kill those businesses.Thats a lot of unemployment.

Okay first of all Joe is interested in buying the business. He doesn't currently make 250,000 but has the potential to if he buys the company and it does well. Second of all there is a lot more overhead and payroll costs that come along with owning a business. It's not that Obama's going to necessarily cap his earnings but given the Corporate Tax rate under Obama's administration, Joe will be paying .65 on the dollar to the government. These so called corporate loop holes that Obama wants to close are the much needed tax deductions that businesses rely on to stay afloat sometimes. Clinton did it in his administration and Bush gave the deductions back.

I heard a blurb of Obama saying the same line at a rally today that plumbers don't make that much. LOL, I can tell you haven't had to call a plumber lately! Seriously though, it was the company as I'm sure you are aware, and that's not uncommon, or rich. He's not going to get the truly rich to pay more, simply won't happen. He's going after the upper middle class, the people who still work 10-14 hours a day. Where is the fairness in that?

I don't have much retirement saved. With three children I'm just making enough to put a little money away. My company is small and offers no insurance or retirement. It's all up to me. I have watched the value of my dollar shrink in the last 8 years. I'm moving backwards instead of forward. McCain wants to give the tax break to the CEO's who make more in their bonuses than most of us do all year. Trickle down doesn't work. It has helped put us where we are.
