Bloomberg financial news is reporting that Sam Wurzelbacher (Joe Plumber) lived in Mesa, Arizona, before moving to Ohio, according to property records. I think there still could be a link, though perhaps not as close as a relation to Keating as the rumors suggest. At the very bottom of the article:

"Hello. I'm calling for John McCain and the RNC, because you need to know that Barack Obama has worked closely with domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, whose organization bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, a judge's home, and killed Americans."

Holy crap.

Scott says:
I'm more disturbed that you referred to someone as a peasant.

++++

LOL. Forgive me Scott, that was my BAD english, I played so many video games in my life and peasant sounded appropriate, but when I saw your post I looked for the meaning of the word and I cannot stop laughing, I apologized, I should have said person.

See!  This is proof that video games are destroying our children!  :P

Rich, you are grasping at straws here.  I'm not going to go into the merits of one plan or another.  I'm just going to address your point (aside from the part Jason addressed). 

Of course Joe doesn't own his own business making over $250,000 a year.  That was his point.  He wants to buy the business.  He's been saving up all his life and can finally buy it, and now, if he does, his costs are going to be higher, for right or for wrong, under Obama's plan.

One thing you didn't mention, but I've seen others that have.  Some are saying he's not even a plumber because he doesn't have a plumber's license.  He's a plumber.  In Ohio, only commercial plumbers need to have a license.  Residential plumbers do not.  Of course, if he buys the business and wants to do commercial jobs, he'll have to apply for a license.

Obama Bucks?  Now that's racist.  Wow.

I'm assuming Sacramento County is in California.  That's surprising coming from a county in an overwhelmingly liberal state.

Only an idiot would expect to buy a business that makes significantly more
than his current business and have his costs stay the same as they are now
anyway.

If all you need is the same last name as someone to be related, does that mean the McCormick spice company owes me some money?

I smell bullshit on that "Obama Bucks" story. Is there a more reliable source?

"Obama bucks" was from a newsletter sent to 200 memebers of a Republican womens group not passed out at campaign rallies and wasn't done by the McCain campaign.
