Nope, "Joe" is broke - he isnt' buying any business, but if he did - he still wouldn't see a tax increase because the business doesn't see a NET PROFIT of anywhere near 250k a year. So good news, Joe, your taxes will go down just like the rest of us non-Bently driving slobs.

But let's entertain Joe's fantasy for a moment - maybe Joe will win the lottery and use it to buy the business, and maybe now that he's a celeberity business will pick up and actually see $250k profit per year.... want to guess how much President Obama's tax plan is going to cost Joe? Between $0 and $900.00....

That's right, the huge burdon of extra taxes that is going to hold Joe back and keep him from buying the business will be at worst $900.... which aparently will just cripple poor Joe who is trying to scrape by on a meer $250,000.00 per year....

Aparently McCamp vetted Joe just about as well as they did Palin :-) Thanks, Joe!

The big winner in all of this (Other than Obama, of course): Joe the Plumber - an actual business that may or may not be owned by an actual Joe that has gotten a lot of free advertisement out of the deal.
Again.. does this change the validity of the question that Joe Posed that is now on the minds of small business owners across America.

Everyone who is jumping on this guy is missing the point of the question he asked. Yes Joe doesn't have a valid license.. yes joe owes back taxes... but it doesn't change the question that Joe asked.

Focus on something other than what the media is spoon feeding us.

and show me where you got the $0 - $900 figure; I'm interested in seeing that because I don't buy that for a second.
