I wonder why Joe the Plumber is worried about his taxes since he doesn't pay them anyway? Or at least didn't in 2007.
From Jonathan Martin's Politico Blog:
Joe the Plumber really is no fan of paying taxes.
According to records from the Lucas County (OH) Court of Common Pleas found by my colleague Avi Zenilman, Samuel J. Wurzelbacher has a lien placed against him to the tune of $1,182.92.
The lien is dated from January of '07.
Hmmm, so along with being a Republican, and an extremely wealthy "plumber", he's also a tax evader. Hmmm. The plumbers I know manage to pay their taxes and they don't make nearly what Joe makes. The Jack the Electricians I know don't make nearly what Joe makes and manage to pay their taxes. The Gary the Grips I know don't make what Joe the Plumber makes and still manages to pay their taxes.
And I'm betting that just about everyone that will read this diary makes less than McCain's Joe the Plumber and still manages to pay their taxes.
