I Don't Get Joe The Plumber

[DemocratSinceBirth]

$250,000 is a lot of money... A family doctor earns on the average $155,000.00 a year...My cousin is an internist, they earn about the same...He was a fricking genius who spent who his whole life with his head buried in books while everybody else was having fun...He went to Harvard for his undergraduate degree and Emory for his medical degree...By the time he finished his residency he was nearly thirty...He isn't making $250,000.00

My mom who passed away two weeks ago was blessed to have a wonderful, caring, loving doctor...I know him and his family...His kids told me they never had a vacation because their father was so dedicated to his practice...He drives a Chevy Blazer and lives in a modest home in a middle class neighborhood...He's not making $250,000 a year!


If Joe is really making $250,000 a year in this economy he should consider himself blessed, quit his whining, and man up...


This really irks me...And the fact that the media is treating him like some average Joe is shameful...

$250,000 is a lot of jack...

1. They are treating him like some sort of expert too

Its laughable

[DemocratSinceBirth]

It's A Shame

I don't think a top rate of 40% is unfair...

2. I really think that when "Joe" was talking to Obama

he meant he would gross $250,000. I think he is a dumbass and doesn't know or want to know or reveal the difference.

3. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he was a paid operative of the gop.

He's already been tied to the Keating family.

4. Nobody gets Joe the Plumber

He's the wind, baby.

5. Yep, it's pretty ridiculous...

I don't make 20% of that, before taxes!

6. I was hoping Obama would say to McCain:

"For a guy who didn't even talk to Joe the Plumber, you're sure spending a lot of time talking ABOUT Joe the Plumber".

7. I have a feeling his profits are similar to the military service of the average freeper
