I think Joe The Plumber was a plant...
and an obvious attempt to discredit what Obama is trying to do with this country.
Just putting that out there for you to marinate on...

I would've suspected the same thing if he'd been at a rally (why would a guy like him go to an Obama rally at all?).. but he was just out in front of his own house.
Also, plant or not, if people don't like Obama's answer, that's Obama's problem, not Joe's.

I think Joe The Plumber was a mineral (or at least some type of rock...)

I think Joe the Plumber isn't a licensed plumber, and it probably isn't a great idea to go on national television asking questions about future taxes when you already owe back taxes. However, Joe is not a plant. Just a tool.

It doesn't matter if Joe was a ballerina, and the question was completely hypothetical....the answer was what people are reacting to.

I think some people are focusing too much on Joe the Plumber, instead of the crap that Obama said in response to him, which is the real story. Regardless of whether his policies will actually enact socialism, what he SAID, in that particular instance IS in fact, socialism.
At the very least it was a stupid thing for Obama to say.

I'm more worried about "Joe-Six-Pack".
I think he has an alcohol problem.

3% isn't socialism in and of itself.. but 3% justified by wanting to "spread the wealth around" certainly is.

What is any form of taxation but converting wealth to common wealth (aka spreading wealth around)?

its funny how people say whatever catch phrase they hear to TV..... if someone would look up socialism & think about our overall economy system, it might shock some of you to know we live in a partial socialism society. capitalism in a governed body is an oxymoron that contridicts its own meaning.

It's funny how other people read some conspiracy theory books and internet postings, and become concinved that our country is controlled by the Jews.
