Joe the Plumber slept with Joe Sixpack's wife, the Hockey Mom Milf...these hypothetical (or disturbingly real) campaign generalizations keep getting stanger and stanger.

The two people that have the potential to lead our nation are arguing about the thoughts, feelings and inpulses of some shit pumping douche in Ohio? Usually I'd interject "no offense", but i guess nearly every citizen in ohio is metaphorically trying to unclog the shit their state has thrown in the giant toilet of the midwest.

one thing these debates confirm is that we're fucked for four more years...

You don't want to watch it. Joe is some guy Fox News has been talking to for the past few days and McCain brought him up to make a point about raising taxes on a small business owner that makes $250,000 a year.

It wasn't a debate, it was rehash of their campaign commercials.

Distribute the wealth or pay more for health care taxes? Some choice!

Who in the world would not realize McCain is also for socialism with
him voting for the bailout with all its earmarks AND now wanting to
tax the money your employer pays for your health care which just
about everyone has said is a bad thing!

Joe the plumber is a rat in a maze.

If one side wins, he gets tax cuts if he does this. Those tax cuts won't help his business survive when health insurance meets inflation.

If the other side wins, he gets tax cuts if he does that. His business will be healthy and he'll be able to afford health insurance for his family, but he won't be able to give his employees enough of a raise that they can get some too.

Either way, Joe jumps through a hoop and gets some cheese. His employees then get screwed. He may or may not be screwed as well.

I kept looking around the stage for someone competent. I didn't find anyone.

My problem with Joe the Plumber is that he's allowing himself to be used as a pawn in this game. That in itself isn't so surprising - the vast majority of Americans would do the same - but think of all that lost potential. What if Joe the Plumber (and job creator) said live on CNN "forget these two clowns using my pain for their political benefit, and let's vote for somebody truly different!"

I do want to mention...I was WRONG about Jefferson agreeing with Hamilton on economics...I went back and read that section of the book again..so..I will admit I was wrong. BUT! I still maintain..we must have a moral society for true free markets to work...and we don't have that ..there has to be some protectionism. I agree free market is the best way on paper...but ya still have to factor in morals..or the wealthy at the top STILL get all the dough. tones

Here's a good argument not to vote McCain/Palin--one of the best I have read on this forum.

A truly good reason to vote for either that ticket or Obama/Biden I have yet to see.

brandon

10-16-2008, 08:08 AM

If I had a gram of gold for every time TONES used the phrase "looks good on paper"....

What does that even mean tones? That is such a cop out. Can you make a logically consistent argument against free markets or are you just going to stick with making baseless accusations via cliche sayings?

Can you explain specifically how the wealthy at the top get all of the money? And remember, they can't use coercion and they don't control a central bank. So how do they get all the money?

So does the Constitution. In real life, however, it don't look so healthy. And the G.O.P. in general and McCain, Obama and Biden personally have done their fair share--and more--to bring this situation about. Not to mention the DNC.

Palin hasn't been all that respectful of it either, though she hasn't done it so much harm from her local and state offices.

When given a choice (http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/10/16/did-barack-spread-the-wealth-obama-just-blow-the-election.html) about how government should address the numerous economic difficulties facing today's consumer, Americans overwhelmingly—by 84% to 13%—prefer that the government focus on improving overall economic conditions and the jobs situation in the United States as opposed to taking steps to distribute wealth more evenly among Americans.

The whole "Plumber making $250k" story was a bit hard to swallow.

Plumbers make decent money- $100k isn't out of the question if the guy works a lot of hours. but $250k? Give me a break.

Turns out, of course, that "Joe the Plumber" was largely a McCain creation (John McCain is full of shit, who woulda thunk it?). He's an unlicensed assistant plumber who probably makes less than $60k (and can't pay his taxes).

In the CNN interview of Joe I watched, He was standing in front of a trailer.
Not that living in a trailer means you are poor, but someone who makes $250,000 a year typically does not live in a trailer park.
