Joe the plumber? Sam (Ohio) the unlicensed contractor! Guy was planted to do one of Sarah Palin's complaints "gotcha journalism!" on Barack. Joe the plumber, who is not a plumber, and his name is Sam and he does contract work but does not have a license to do contract work. A republican catching Barack, who is gracious and will talk to the public with cameras (unlike Palin). Joe the plumber said he wanted to open a $250,000 plumbing business and that Barack's proposal will harm and cut into his business. Fact #1: Sam the unlicensed contractor makes $40,000 a year, and he is not a plumber. Fact# 2: Sam is NOT opening up his own business and even his own boss was surprised to hear that Sam could or would do that, because the guy is unlicensed AND Fact# 3: Joe/Sam did not pay taxes for 2007, and, there is a lean and judgment against him. Sam swaggering on his cell phone as TV crews followed him again, he said to the cameras "I hate social security, don't want my taxes paying for it." HUH? Bet his retired parents need SS. Joe tricked us for 15 minutes of fame. Sam the nobody caught Barack, and, repubs and McCain ate it up. Again, Joe, vote for your guy, oh, and when the not paying your taxes comes back to bite you--you might need the other guy, Barack, an attorney, to suggest a good tax lawyer.

You pretty much summed it up except that if he owes $120K in back taxes to Ohio, a reliable source tells me that he most likely owes money to the IRS too! Why has a tradesman who has been in the business for 15 yrs not gotten his plumber license? True he can run a plumbing business without a license but what credibility does he have?? People will not look to him as a reliable source. I find Joe the plumber to be a tax dodger plain and simple.
