The credit reporting company changed procedures and some jackhole ripped you off through credit card fraud. This is an indictment against "neo-con's" and Joe The Plumber...how? You're right that JTP has a tax lien and that he doesn't make the kind of money he'd need to make in order to have his <i>immediate</i> concerns about The Messiah's tax plans. Know why I don't care? Because JTP did not ambush The Messiah; The Messiah ambushed Joe. My whole article, above, is all about JTP defining his tax concerns not according to how much filthy lucre he makes today, but according to how much filthy lucre he would like to make tomorrow (hence the pictorial about the kitten looking at himself in the mirror). I am, like all real capital-A Americans are, the same way. There's quite the irony here. The One actually has posters circulating with his likeness, over the letters H-O-P-E. He talks about it. The rest of us, who oppose his plans because of our visions for our future status and how He will impact it...we live it. He is committed to the four letters, those of us who oppose him, are committed to the concept. We end up being complete opposites of each other. Which proves He is a liar. D S,

My first real job <strong>after college</strong> paid $11/hour. 12 years and a few sacrifices and promotions later I make three times that. I can keep up the hard work, and keep earning more. Hard work pays off, more often than not. That's the promise of this country...a promise Obama intends to dim significantly. In an Obamanation, laziness will pay...or rather, <em><strong>I</strong></em> will pay. No thanks. Gotta keep those dreams alive.

The business that he wants to purchase, netted roughly $100,000, he owes over $1,000 in back state taxes and had a lien filled against him. I am an ordinary Joe, who served in the military and had to close my business, due to international credit card fraud. Before I started taking orders from the international firm, I contacted our credit card processing company to make sure that I followed the procedures to protect our company. The processing company said I was following procedures correctly and that all should be good. Alas, when the fraudulent charges started coming through, the credit card processor changed direction and said it was my responsibility. In 2004 I ended up with $100,000 in bad charges, no real recourse and the republican administration and legislature had stoked the banking industry with all types laws to protect their interest, but not mine. Do a little research and see the dramatic effect that the neo-con's have had on the closure and bankruptcy rate in our country. The biggest problem is not taxation, it is proper litigation. The neo-con's use Joe (actually Stan) as their arguing point, but as usual, they serve big business and don't give a flip about the small business owner. So all you Joe's out there, beware of a wolf in sheeps clothing. Don't just listen to all the rhetoric, but research the issues thoroughly. Joe does not net $250,000, he netted roughly $40,000.
