Ouch.
Joe the Plumber wasn't even an apprentice. He doesn't have a license, reported The New York Times.
Daily Kos reports he owes back taxes.
It seems Joe is already growing weary of his own 15 seconds of fame.
“I’m kind of like Britney Spears having a headache,” he told The Associated Press on Thursday. “Everybody wants to know about it.”
Republicans obviously didn't vet this one.
Joe's going to win this national election.
Joe Wurzelbacher, an Ohio man looking to buy a plumbing business is interviewing Presidential candidates -- and he seems to like the less-tax, more-money-in-your-pocket approach of John McCain than the steal-from-the-rich/give-to-the-poor socialism of Barack Obama.
It's nothing personal.
Just show Joe the Plumber the money.
The Huffington Post reported tonight how John McCain pleaded Joe the Pumber's case:
"You were going to put him in a higher tax bracket which was going to increase his taxes, which was going to cause him not to be able to employ people, which Joe was trying to realize the American dream," McCain said.
The Wall Street Journal viewed the economic plans of both candidates.
"Both candidates' plans are in line with their parties' orthodoxy and their own prior initiatives. Sen. McCain is relying largely on traditional Republican tax cuts. Sen. Obama uses a big government stick -- a 90-day moratorium on foreclosures for banks receiving assistance through the federal rescue plan -- and traditional Democratic talk of keeping jobs in the U.S."
Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal also reported today that the market slump has not been slowed -- and loss of fiscal confidence threatens to make matters worse.
