Joe is Muhfukkin' CRAZY!! And Also a Planted Republican (and also a fake Mats Sundin)



So for the hundreds of thousands of people who have been tuning in to hear all the great things Grimes & I have to say, I'm sure you were a bit curious about my post this morning concerning Joe The Plumber. Sure, I had a picture of him. But the probing minds of our legions of fans wanted to know - who is Joe, really. Now that we have the video from his interview this morning on Good Morning America I can tell you. He is a crazy motherfucker.

First off - he doesn't make over $250,000. So, let's just get this out of the way, in NO WAY does Obama's tax plan effect him. But that's not the problem for Joe. The problem is that he doesn't think it's right to penalize people for making a lot of money ever. That, just because you've made more than 95% of the population, you shouldn't have any added responsibility. Just because you have made all of your money off of 95% of the population, that's no reason that you should give more back to all those people you made it from.

What's hard about conversations like this is that there's no argument I can make, because Joe the Plumber and I are just speaking completely different languages. For starters he's obviously an ardent Republican. He's obviously ardently small government and he's obviously not that into thinking rationally.

So all I can say to the thousands of registered American voters who troll our humble website - Joe the Plumber represents the very wealthiest 5% of the American population. He is literally a wolf in sheep's clothing, pretending to voice the concerns of the middle class because he works on sewer mains, while dropping every single wealthy republican talking point under the sun.

By the by, when the "undecided Voter" starts appearing on stage to speak at rallies for Senator McCain, you might want to wonder just how non-partisan his comments are...
