All true if the economy is great, but Joe is looking at new taxes on the
income he is ALREADY making, his business, like most is probably looking at
decreases this year, not increases, and with less income left over after
taxes,
he will certainly not be hiring more. How will this create jobs at any
level???
The govt will suck up a bunch of money, create new departments to handle
(spend) it and fund some token programs to account for the newfound wealth.
we
have been to this pop stand before. If anything, they will fund some new
minority owned plumbing operations, with access to govt. contracts Joe
doesn't have. As there is not going to be a big upsurge in plumbing needs,
the
same amount of business will be spread out. Joe's self made business will
lose
customers, so others can gain. Obama will do as he says and use Joes money to

fund those who come up behind him.

I am enchanted by how Republicans, who used to be conservatives but
now feed at the big business trough, have psyched people of average
incomes into thinking like this.

Ray, take a deep breath and think about the implications of high
unemployment throughout the country. Now think of high employment and
compare conditions and choose the condition you prefer.

As Obama pointed out to Joe The Plumber--whose book, tool and shaver
endorsements will soon arrive--as more jobs are created Joe's plumbing
business will get more business from people who can afford his services.

As Joe gets more business he will hire more plumbers. He will pay more
total taxes but his after-tax profit will be greater.

Methinks Joe protests too much. Ray, let's suppose your music teacher
salary gets bumped to, say, a million per year. Your tax bite will
outrage you. Your after-tax remainder will send your children to the
finest schools. And you will never have to eat that non-food, ramen
noodles.

Beware of the tax spin of those whose clients most benefit:
politicians and their henchpersons.
