I was just reading this about McCain’s day yesterday and it really pissed me off:
“So my friends, all the efforts we made in trying to make sure Americans understood that Sen. Obama wants to raise your taxes and he wants to increase your spending by $1 trillion, was the man who spoke for small businesses all over America Joe the Plumber,” McCain said.
(emphasis added)
What small business does Joe own? He doesn’t and he even lied about the income of the company he dreamed he could buy. Hell this guy couldn’t even finish up his apprenticeship to become an actual plumber!
I am a small business owner and have looked very carefully at the tax programs. Barack Obama will benefit me, John McCain will add to the increased pain I have experienced over the last eight years. So Joe does not speak for me, nor any other small business owner I know. He’s nothing but a tool of the McCain campaign.
