    Joe the Plumber interview
    http://www.cbsnews.com/blogs/200…
    Wurzelbacher spoke to Katie Couric of CBS Evening News on October 15, shortly after the conclusion of the final debate. Asked whether Obama's proposed $250,000 tax threshold would affect him, Wurzelbacher replied: "Not right now at presently, but, you know, question, so he's going to do that now for people who make $250,000 a year. When's he going to decide that $100,000 is too much, you know? I mean, you're on a slippery slope here. You vote on somebody who decides that $250,000 and you're rich? And $100,000 and you're rich? I mean, where does it end?" He also said, “I asked the question but I still got a tap dance ...almost as good as Sammy Davis, Jr.”

    • That doesn't mean his questions were illegitimate. The % gap is starting to close.

    • Weird. My household income is what Joe wishes his was. I'm voting for Obama. So is everyone in my social circle.TheBlueOne
    • Joe is making pronouncement about what he assumes he'd want if he had what he didn't.TheBlueOne
    • Even as much as I dislike the whole Joe the Plumber thing. He's got a point. Income Tax began only taxing the top 1%.tommyo
    • Shit slides downhill. Our gov needs to just not spend for a while. Not going to happen, but still.tommyo
