If you missed the clip with Obama and this guy here it is:
This is how the rightwing media is spinning it:
This guy is a republican. No doubt about it. He did an interview with some Family Security matters outfit about it, and his comments make it clear that he doesn't care about the 95 percent of us.
Whether or not people can afford to hire a plumber matters not to this piece of work.
PM: Okay, and then he talked about 10, 15 years ago maybe you weren’t making that sort of money, how would you feel – if you were just starting out, or maybe looking back – the kind of tax cut that he’s promising for other people, does that still make you think that that’s a great idea?
JW: No. See, I believe in working for what I get. I don’t want to say it’s a handout, but essentially that’s what it comes down to. You’re going to tax someone else more that’s been working hard to fulfill the American Dream and you’re gonna give it to other people who – I’m not saying they don’t work as hard, but I’m sure some of them don’t – and I don’t think it’s right just to give it to them or reduce taxes on their part and hike it up on my part like a teeter totter to bring it back even. So no, that wouldn’t – well, let me rephrase that. It would appeal to me because back then I was struggling. That kind of thing appeals to me – anybody wants to cut my taxes, I look at it very seriously, it’s like, it sounds great. But you gotta see what the other hand is doing too.
See, only people that work hard deserve a tax break - and those people make over 250k per year.
You got to love this question:
PM: Do you fear this is the possibility of America turning more down the socialist road if Obama does become elected and if he is able to implement these policies?
Can you guess what the answer is?
W: Very much so. You start giving people stuff, and then they start expecting it – and that scares me. A lot of people expect it now. They get upset when their check’s late, they get upset when they don’t get as many benefits as they used to, or when different government agencies are cut or spending is cut here and there for whatever reason – people get upset at that. And that’s because they’re used to getting it and they want more. I mean, everyone’s always gonna want more. People work the system left and right to get more out of welfare, to get more out of state assistance, federal assistance. And if government’s there for them, they’re gonna keep on trying to manipulate it to get more out of it. You got people that come along and say, "Hey, I wanna help you people," I mean, they’re all ears! They’re like, "Hey, you can help me more, I don’t have to work as hard, I don’t have to do as much, and you’re gonna give me this? Man, that’s great, you’re a good guy."
One thing for sure, if this guy's not a plant, he's still a fucking selfish idiot.

his name, too.
Wurzelbacher.
Why?
Well, I wanted to see if Joe had made any major campaign contributions, so I searched Newsmeat or a Wurzelbacher in Ohio.
No Joe, but there is a Robert, a big Republican donor.
I looked him up, who is he?
Charles Keating's son-in-law, found guilty in the same scandal.
Are they related? So far, I can't find a real connection. But they are both Wurzelbachers from Ohio.
