America doesn't give a fuck about a plumber making over $250,000 a year

[itsrobert]

Why doesn't John McCain and the media get it?

[RagAss]

1. Amen

[ecstatic]

2. Was JTP's hypothetical income specifically mentioned? nt

[DefenseLawyer]

5. He was worried about paying higher income taxes under Obama

Obama is wants to raise income taxes on people making over $250k. Thus, one must assume Joe will make over $250 a year in income.

3. agreed ! nt

4. I thought I was the only one thinking fuck Joe the plumber

with his quarter mill.

[VenusRising]

11. You are not alone.

:hi:

[XemaSab]

12. Anyone who's had a plumber over in the last year

is thinking "Damn, I thought those fools made some fat bank! Now I KNOW!" :o

6. McCain thinks that because the guy has a blue collar job title it makes

everyone ignore the fact that he's LOADED. Sorry McCain and MSM...I don't give a flying fuck about Joe the rich plumber.

7. A-Rod has a blue collar job too

It doesn't make him middle class.

[WinkyDink]

9. Another McCain smart-arse moment: "Guess what, Joe? You're RICH!" I.e., denying that $250,000/yr IS

rich, percentile-wise!

8. "Joe, you're rich. Congratulations!" Worst. Line. Of. The. Debate.

Americans are swimming in debt, can't fill up their tanks, can't pay their bills, can't buy groceries, can't get a car loan, can't keep their homes and there is McCain congratulating one of his supporters for being rich.

10. America isn't the government, America is her people

To equate one with the other is petty and pointless, imo.
