Combine that with the fact that there is no way that the business actually brings in anywhere near enough to NET $250,000 which means that if anything the business will see LOWER taxes, then yes it very clearly does sink any validity that his question and McCain's argument had.
Again.. you are missing the point of the question posed.. which was the importance of Joe the Plumber. People are singling him out when his question applies to a number of other small business owners.

Look at the question and not Joe. Even if Joe owes 100k in back taxes it does not change the validity of the question asked.. which is what is important in relation to Joe..

Joe himself is just some guy on the street I could care less about, but the question he asked is applicable to many other people who are small business owners.

Again you miss the point and are fixated on a person who's honestly irrelevant in this election; what was relevant was the question he asked Obama.

ps: Joe never said it made 250k.. he said he would like to grow it to 250k or more and wanted to know how that would effect him. To which Obama said he would "spread the wealth".
