It's Joe!!
- For those of you wondering, "who the fuck is Joe!?" last night during the 3rd Presidential debate - see above. The story is that Joe and his son we're tossing the pig skin around in his hometown of Holland, OH when Barry rolled through. Curious about tax policy the two discussed flat taxes versus Obama's tax credit system for American's making $250,000 or more. In the end Barry wasn't convinced by the flat tax proposal, and Joe wasn't convinced by Barry - he's likely voting McCain this November.
- And speaking of McCain and Joe and Barry and politics and stuff, an interesting note from the Times this morning! McCain said that there are millions or Americans just like Joe. Actually, there are 770,000 Americans who own businesses and make over $250,000, just like Joe. That's about 1.7% of business owners. Which means Obama was right when he said in response to John Walnuts McCain - 98% of American business owners will not be affected. Who will people listen to? The answer lies in: How interested in national tax policy math does Joe look?
- And finally - for those commenting on Dion & The Liberal's loss (good band name) yesterday who suggested he would have a hard time making it through the next convention. It turns out MY forecast may have been a bit more accurate. Dion may be gone within a few days.
- Joe The Plumber's real name is Sam.
