Did Joe the plumber say he would MAKE $250-280K or he was buying a buisness that cost that?
If he said he was buying a business that cost $250-280K the answer re: his taxes is WAY different. That seems to be what Joe is saying today. That he wanted to buy a business that cost that much. In that case Obama answered (or he asked) the wrong question.
It matters because the right is now spinning it as "Joe wanted to buy a business to hire more employees to help the economy which is what America needs. Obama wants to tax Joe so he can't buy the business and can't hire people. Obama will destroy the economy with his tax hikes."
The spin fromt he right is wrong. Joe said "I'm getting ready to buy a company that MAKES $250-280K per year." Obama went on to explain he would get deductions for health care etc.
He answered him as if his personal income would be $250,000 from a business - and in regards to exempting small business and other small business tax breaks.
But it doesn't matter, because Joe is full of shit and that has been proven without question. He can't even manage to pay his taxes.
