Not that it really has much to do with anything, but the vilification of this guy by the Obama campaign and the media is unreasonable.
a) Joe the plumber is a plumber who operates under his employers license. He is prepping for his master's rating which will allow him to own a plumbing business.
b) The hypothetical scenario that he posed was "if" he was to someday buy the business from his current employer.
c) He never stated that he earned $250,000, but that the business he spoke of someday owning (in his question to Obama) could generate revenues of $250,000 or more.
With Republican "shill" conspiracy accusations and wild speculation about someone asking some honest unscripted questions, it sounds more and more like this thread belongs in Tilted Paranoia.
