Joe the Phony

Well, guess who isn't even a plumber. That's right a guy named Joe the Plumber! It turns out he doesn't hold a plumbing license and owes back taxes. Why is Barack not going after McCain when he starts spouting off about how giving tax breaks to businesses will create jobs? There is no accountability on the part of of the businesses to use that tax break on job creation. As companies have shown, time and again, when given surplus money, it tends to find it's way back to the executives, by way of bonus. Obama's tax break after job creation lends accountability to that program. Tax fairness dictates we raise taxes on people who are being under taxed and lower them on those being over taxed. Or at least make them even. We can always find someone on the financial cusp of being able to realize their dream. If we wanted to raise taxes on only people making $2 million+ a year, there is Joe the Plastic Surgeon - wishing to open his own Beverly Hills, Donda West Memorial Cosmetic Surgery Center. He's now unable to complete the American dream because he's now making less money by a WHOPPING 3%. 3% of 250k is only an extra $7500. If, he is able to make that kind of money, $7500 is a drop in the bucket. If an extra $7500 breaks a business that is able to pay you a Quarter of a Million dollars per year - that's a poorly run business. So the answer to your question Joe - Yes, we are going to raise your taxes...not that you'll pay them anyway.
