RC> Hello Bob!


RC> 17 Oct 08 12:42, you wrote to me:


RC>>> "Now that you are doing good, we are going to take your

BK>>  Except for the fact that he didn't say that.


Obama spouted the democrats usual agenda: the more successful you are, the
harder they want to make it for you to enjoy your success, or become even more
successful. By the way.....it has been pointed out that Obama didn't answer
the guy's question. Either when it was asked, or even since.


RC> He said something very close to it..


BK>Not even remotely.


Obama wants to take money from those who work hard and gain financial success
through hard work, and give it to those `behind you'. Thats how it came across
to me.


BK>>  Except for the fact that Joe the plumber isn't doing all that
BK>>  well.


BK>>  Except for the fact that Joe the plumber is not a plumber.


RC> Irrelevant...


BK>The man claims he is trying to buy out the plumbing business he
BK>works for, and worries about having his taxes raised if he makes
BK>more than $250K/yr? That is not only relevant, but is the heart
BK>of the issue. He isn't qualified as a plumber, he couldn't
BK>legally run the business if he could buy it, which he can't
BK>because it's not for sale, and he wouldn't make $250K/yr if he
BK>did buy it.


The point being ignored here, while we pursue `Joe the plumber's' tax status,
his education, his professional abilities, his income, his life, etc etc, is
the fact that Obama pretty much did the same thing at that Q&A session that
Mondale did when he ran: he told us if he's elected president, individual
taxes were going up!


RC> Obama did say the controversial things that drew this
RC> attention.


BK>Controversial only to those who have no idea what it's all
BK>about.


Its about individual taxes going up.


BK>>  Except for the fact that Joe the plumber has probably never
BK>>  seen $250,000/yr in his entire life, and probably will never see
BK>>  $250000/yr unless he goes into drug dealing or inflation becomes
BK>>  hyper-inflation.


BK>... pay the damn taxes and shut up about it.


What ever happened to `no taxation without representation'!


Whatever happened to our right to freely question our government? To protest
high taxation?


"... pay the damn taxes and shut up about it." ..........Klahn


BK>He will probably never see $250K/yr, but, on the off chance he
BK>does,


"... he should just pay the taxes and don't bitch about it." ....Klahn


Thats probably one of the biggest things I detest about democrats.... they
don't like feedback, or hard questions, no close scrutiny of their policies
and agenda. Just `....shut up about it'......`don't bitch about it', just `go
along with it'!
