There were many political footballs thrown back and forth during this election season in the US. Especially Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Pastor Hagee and many more. The latest of them was Joe the Plumber by John McCain at the third and final debate at Hofstra University in New York. It went back and forth and the candidates repeated Joe the Plumber close to 30 times during the debate.
Joe the Plumber became a media hit and he had reporters surrounding his house, satellite trucks and all. Joe the Plumber, Joe Wurzelbacher, had his 15 minutes of fame. It turned out that it was a foul pass anyway. Joe the Plumber is no plumber, he does not have plumbing licence, and he earns only $40,000.00 per year and no taxes for a Joe the Plumber who is supposed to earn over $250,000.00, (the bracket under Obama's tax plan where the rich would pay their fair share) – Joe will actually save on taxes. Politics, politics thy name is trickery.
