Punish success? John McCain is apart of the reason why our economy is in the shitter. McCain voted with bush 90% of the time. You can't get around that. McCain is apart of the problem. Obama is apart of the solution. But like a typical John McCain supporter, let's switch the topic to Mr. Ayers because you can't dispute McCain being in George's pocket.

I think he's miserably failing to paint a picture of the average blue collar worker. There is a difference between working in a mall and not being able to afford to shop there (I think that's closer to the analogy he was trying to make), and working for a business and not being able to afford to buy it .
Right, but he's trying to paint a picture for the masses. Joe plumber is an individual who happens to have a common name, but there are plenty of people in the same situation. He's trying to apply it to all of them.
McCain was supposed to knock this one out of the park just to keep his head above water.. Instead, Obama has owned this debate.
I still am not finding out what Joe the Plumber's problem is. Here is Obama's small business plan. http://209.85.165.104/search?q=cach... small business plan&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&gl=us Is the complaint really with the taxation, or is it with the affirmative action in his small business plan?
Tough question for Obama, forcing him to defend the socialist education system that spends more per student than any in the world with the worst results.
the point he's trying to make is that some people who are trying to start up small businesses(which would in turn employ others) are going to be unable to do so with obama's tax policy. whether that is true or not or the actual extent of it can be debated, but i don't see how people are having trouble seeing his point. interesting enough though(well not really interesting at all), i didn't see obama really have a response to that(other than his comment about helping "joe plumber's" past situation which doesn't address the point at all).
Again, he was talking about increase in taxes above $250k. This plumber, likely as a sole proprietor, will be punished for working harder by higher tax brackets. Obama wants to repeal the Bush tax cuts, which will punish success.
