Dear NU Student for Obama: What do you mean he is no longer Joe the Plumber if he earns $$$? Have you tried hiring a plumber lately? Big expense. Joe is a small business man. And if he works his tail off, he can earn a very comfortable living as a plumber. But he’ll have to work hard. But why would he work so hard if Sen. Government will just take his earnings away and give it to someone else? I know I wouldn’t. By the way, $250,000 is a comfortable living, but it isn’t RICH. Trust me – this I know. You’re comfortable, but in a big city, you can’t live in the top neighborhoods and have all the stuff you want. And your taxes are high. This I know too. And they’re about to get higher. And both Joe the Plumber and I both might power down and take it easy in an Obama administration. No sense in working hard if the extra money will just be confiscated. And this is the very reason that socialism doesn’t work. Why do we have to keep learning this lesson again and again?
