According to NY Times:
Joe is not a licensed plumber
Joe registered to vote in March (the primary), and voted Republican. (He's 34)
Joe's claim to having a $250K business is not true, he gross receipts $250K and would still be eligible for an Obama tax cut.
Overnight Joe Wurzelbacher became a celebrity. He said he feels like "Britney Spears" now. I just have on question for Joe...
Since you're so concerned with the American dream, why won't you put aside your greed for the better of this country, and allow the upper class Americans to be taxed more than the middle class, or lower class?
That way the middle class can pay for college, get a chance to own a house and have the potential to prosper. You go enjoy your $250,000 paycheck while the rest of the U.S. experiences hardship due to the greed in America, and the stupidity of our government.
One last comment: I highly doubt Joe the plumber will buy his company, make his $250,000 and live in the same $90,000 house he resides in now. Something about that man seems less truthful than the actual politicians (it could be that he gave the wrong name originally-and spelled it with an o).

what a rant! Joe never said he had a 250k business but wanted to buy the business that was producing the revenue of 250k. Joe was not looking for any limelight in his question but you write with much anger towards him. It was Obama's believe in redistributing the wealth that made the question such a hot topic. How do you feel in wealth redistribution? Should you not be able to hold onto your wealth that you clearly have earned. Should a waiter that makes more tips share it with other waiters that make less because they were not as successful for whatever reason? The wealthy pay 36% in taxes currently. (that is just their federal responsability)
