Redsitribution
Good read, not me although I might try it.

I find it hard to beleive that really occured, but one heck of an anology. It may seem like a cliche, but I'm going to agree with the Joe the Plumber concept myself. I'm sitting around with my friends, and they think it's quite funny themselves.
I hope people will realize that Obama is a communi......, I mean extremely left wing candidate. Seriously, have you read/heared about how many nutts live in his neighborhood? I doubt it is just some odd accident.

I just can't believe we might elect a fucking senator who has completed one term, passed one bill voted on virtually nothing (or better yet neutral). He may or may not be originally born in the US, oh yeah did you hear that one, he wont release his birth certificate let alone his medical records, or most his records from college... wtf can we say lawsuits (oh yeah around 8 states are now suiing obama for these very reasons)

Hah, I wondered if anyone else would mention that. Yep he was born in Kenya, his grandmother on his fathers side vouches for it. She says she saw him born in Kenya.

What concept is that? Any 'plumber' with a normal salary will be better off tax wise. The whole 'joe the plumber' concept is out of whack.

Seriously? do you even understand economics....
Any business owner would have to pay much bigger taxes. Most wouldn't be able to or they would have to fire employees to cope with such costs.
Here is a link that explains how Obamas plan works.
