So I’m watching the news tonight and seeing clips of reporters, Democratic Party officials, Joe Biden and Obama himself openly criticizing Joe The Plumber. They’re mocking him by saying “I don’t know many plumbers that make $250,000 per year (which isn’t what he said)” and several other disparaging things about him and his profession.
Excuse me?
Is this what we want from the leaders of a nation? An open attack on an average citizen simply because he asked a question they didn’t like? And by the way, please think review this issue in detail.
Review exactly what Joe asked Obama. There is NOTHING in that question that is wrong. It is a question we would all ask no matter what our income level is. And speaking of that, listen to the hatred being spewed at this man for “earning a quarter of a million bucks” a year (Obama’s words). You’d think this man was a murderer!
He’s an average hard working man who is exporing his options to better the future of his family by buying a business.
Which is exactly what our founding fathers had in mind when they declared independence from an over taxing, over governing regime. And yes, I’m hoping you’ll see the parallels.
