Joe The Plumber Flumuxes The Lefty Media, Gives The Rest Of Us Hope

Joe The Plumber is Everyman, and he has become an overnight sensation.

Here is his encounter with Senator Barack Obama that started it all:

The Ohio man found himself at the center of a Media Storm of coverage, and his opinion was sought after last night's Presidential Debate:



And to top it off, Diane Sawyer of Good Morning America interviewed him this morning and tried to trip him up:



Here is the transcript:

ABC's Diane Sawyer: "Well I just want to ask you now about the issue that was raised because it's been a little confusing to me as I tried to sort it out here. To get straight here, you're not taking home $250,000 now, am I right?"


Joe Wurzelbacher: "No. No. Not even close."


Sawyer: "And you were you asking — about the prospect, the hope that someday you would make $250,000, and you were saying you didn't want that to be taxed?"


Wurzelbacher: "Well, exactly. Exactly. I mean not that I don't want to be taxed. You have to be taxed. But to — just because you work a little harder to have a little bit more money taken from you, I mean, that's scary. You know as opposed to other people. I worked hard for it. Why should I be taxed more than other people?"


Sawyer: "Well if people making $250,000 should not be taxed additionally — by the way, it's 3% from 36% to 39% under Senator Obama's plan. If those people should not be taxed additionally, even though they're in the top 5% of America, what about people who make $1 million? Or $5 million?"


Wurzelbacher: "Well, I mean, quite honestly, why should they be penalized for being successful. I mean, that's what you're telling me. That's what it sounds like you're saying. That's wrong. Because you're successful, you have to pay more than everybody else? We all live in this country. It's a basic right. And Obama wants to take that basic right and penalize me for it, is what it comes down to. That's a very socialist view and it's incredibly wrong. I mean, $250,000 now. What if he decides, well you know $150,000, you're pretty rich too. Let's go ahead and lower it again. You know it's a slippery slope. When's it going to stop?"

Commentary

Joe asked, "When's it going to stop?"

Sadly, the answer is, "Never." The lefties will never give up until we all live in a Socialist Utopia where a majority of our income flows into the government coffers to be re-distributed from those who can to those who can't, or won't.

As long as people like Joe are around...the lefties will continue to find their goals not as easily achieved as they'd like.

Oh, and you thought the Legacy and Lefty Media's attempt to discredt Sarah Palin was bad...wait until they start looking in this guy's trash cans and his past in an effort to discredit him with Ad Hominems.

You why they always try to discredit the messenger? Because they cannot argue with the message.

The lefties and the Legacy Media types make me sick. They refuse to report on a man who participated in a terrorist group that killed Americans and caused millions of dollars worth of damage...and here is this guy, a plumber who wants to better himself, provide for his family...and employ people. They are more interested in destroying this guy than in going after a terrorist.

That should tell you all you need to know about the Left, and the Legacy Media.
