The whole Joe the plumber socialist argument boils down to this
Convince the masses the following.
You are better off with less money now, so that ifou win the lottery, you will pay less taxes then.
Translated - If McCain is president and I win 10 million dollars, my taxes will be 400k less than if Obama is president.
The flip side is - If Obama is President, you have more money in your pocket to buy lottery tickets, or maybe food and clothes or maybe heat your house.
Somehow, every idiot at the McCain/Palion rallies will shoot themselves in the foot to be better off if in the event they win the lottery. This isn't a new concept. The same technique has been used to rally poor people against the "death tax" because it shouldn't "cost money to die", even though it doesn't apply to 99% of the population.
It is really fascinating how they have gotten the poor to fight against a tax only the wealthy will ever pay. Kudos scumbags.

You could talk to every individual at a McSame rally and ask them why they supported him and I'll bet 100 percent of them would spout a talking point without having a clue what it meant. At this point, the only people supporting McSame are rich, racist or stupid.
