Joe the Plumber hates working class Americans

[Green_Lantern]

Union supporters in the state capital Madison outnumbered the pro-Walker rally, organised by the conservative groups Tea Party Patriots and Americans for Prosperity, the Associated Press news agency reports.

Among the Walker supporters was "Joe the Plumber", real name Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, who figured in the 2008 Republican presidential campaign.

His message was: "Unions don't deserve anything, you don't deserve anything, you work for it yourself!"

1. He probably imagines himself as a business entrepreneur.

Unions are only for people who work for someone else in his mind. Yet, even as a free lancer, he should be part of the plumbers union because those are the guys who negotiated what rate he would be getting for his rate.

8. Wasn't he basically an co-owner in a non-union plumbing business -

And never really a licenced plumber himself? Put up some money in his father in law's business and/or worked a desk job to seem like part of the business?

10. Co-owner? Hell no he wasn't.

He was only a parts clerk and not a plumber. His big thing was to claim that because he would have to pay more taxes as a self employed person that he couldn't afford to (translation: the bank said to him "are you fucking kidding?") buy the company he worked for as a clerk.

Delusional doesn't even come close to covering this guy.

2. Jesus Christ, how has this guy not fallen in a deep well yet?

5. Wow. That poor man is so forgotten. It must be frustrating for him.

Gee. Maybe his old pal Sarah will come stand with him.

Probably not.

6. Well if Joe the Plumber says so it has to be gospel

:shrug: I am beginning to think Republicans are incapable of either shame or embarrassment.

7. So if unions 'work for it themselves' does that make them deserving?

Just like big corporations when they 'work for it', Joe is it all good and dandy? Me thinks Joe is an idiot that makes idiot statements that even on the surface sounds uberultrasuperdeluxemoronic.

9. This is the RepubliClown who ain't named Joe, and ain't a plumber

How perfectly republicon to try and bullshit honest hard-working Americans...

11. If Joe the Plummerscrackhead had decent training and was a union plumber...

he'd probably own his own business by now and make a damn good living at it.

Too bad he'll never, ever be a REAL plumber.
