Sorry, but this guy's numbers don't add up.... http://thinkprogress.org/2008/10/16/joe-the-plumber/ ...and for an "undecided," he certainly brings up all sorts of right wing issues, like: “Social Security’s a joke. I have parents. I don’t need another set of parents called the government. Let me take my money and invest it how I please. Social Security, I’ve never believed in, don’t like it, hate that it’s forced on me.” “I’m not sorry that we’re in Iraq. … We’ve liberated another country. I mean, you know, freedom. … I don’t know if you guys are Christians or not, but it’s like someone coming to Jesus and becoming saved. These guys have freedom. … Has it kept us safe? Absolutely. I believe in that 100 percent.” ---I smell a rat.... or maybe he's just another right wing koolaid drinking mole.... [}:)] Title: "Joe the Plumber" has a news conference!

Ever since Reagan it's been all about tax cuts for the Upper Class and shifting the burden of paying for government to the middle and lower classes -- Period.

Post by: Hometown on October 16, 2008, 10:30:05 am The high rate inflation during Carter's presidency was the result of Richard Nixon's decision in 1971 to take the dollar off the gold standard.
You Republicans have quite a history of messing up our economy. Hey if you are a fan of HERBERT HOOVER -- you'll love John McCain. Title: "Joe the Plumber" has a news conference! Post by: pmcalk on October 16, 2008, 10:43:41 am I kind of feel sorry for poor old Joe. I really don't think he intended to throw himself into the spotlight. Now the rumor is that he has failed to actually pay his taxes (http://"http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/"), in addition to not getting his plumbing license.
The guy just wanted to ask a question. Now McCain has thrust him into the national spotlight, without vetting him. I see a pattern emerging here. Title: "Joe the Plumber" has a news conference! Post by: USRufnex on October 16, 2008, 10:57:08 am If you want a Phil Gramm-Warren Rudman style "bi-partisanship" that will resort to draconian spending freezes that will barely dent the deficit... then by all means: Vote for McCain.

[xx(] If anyone was to belive your premise, the economy never would have recovered. If the gold standard was the only thing holding the economy together, nothing could have stopped 21% interest rates and 14% inflation from growing. Except Reagan, that is. Using your logic, any success Clinton had MUST have been due to W part 1. I'm beginning to wonder what history books you read, or if you just make this stuff up as you go.
