Hey, man... I'm thinking of expanding my business of 26 years, in order to add some plumbing services. Thanks to John McCain and Joe the Plumber for letting me know that there's a TON of money to be made in the plumbing business... so much money, I might even have to pay some taxes!!  Now let's see... which is better? 1. A small tax increase, linked to a vibrant economy that provides a healthy income. or... 2. A small tax cut linked to a recession or sick economy that shrinks income. Tough decisions lie ahead.  TM

I just want to thank Bob Schieffer for actually asking follow up questions rather than just meekly sitting there while one of the candidates says "I'm not going to answer your questions, I'm going to rattle off memorized talking points". To quote SNL: "Joe Biden is better than that. I repeat - Joe Biden... is better... than that."

Replying to: pat (Oct 17, 2008 6:08 am) I also thought that. I understand that's the general concensus as well. In addition, the general concensus is that McCain ultimately lost all three debates. Which to me is irrelevant... Why would anyone vote based upon the winner or loser of a debate anyway? Personally, I think it's more important to look at the candidate's policies, plans for the future, the nature of the campaign, which reveals some of the candidate's character and integrity, and most important their actual voting record, which sheds a lot of light on what policies they support and don't support. And I stopped paying attention to the "tax" discussions, accusations, and promises years ago, when George Bush Sr. promised "Read my lips... no new taxes", and then he increased taxes. As far as I'm concerned, there are always going to be taxes. It's the general health of the economy that's much more important. My business, and many other businesses have really suffered over these past years, and I'm not all too happy about it. Anyway... sorry for the rambling.   TM

Replying to: tagman (Oct 17, 2008 8:05 am) Absolutely. Also, you may want to hold off on your plumbing plans, it turns out that Mr. Joe actually makes around $40K a year, and has no plans to buy his boss's plumbing business which itself doesn't make anywhere near $250-280K. Doh!

Replying to: lexusguy (Oct 17, 2008 10:16 am) l In fact Joe the plumber is actually not even a plumber(at least a licensed one) and he still owes $1,100 of back taxes. McCain sure knows how to pick them (Palin and Joe). |
