I don't know who Joe the Plumber is, but I really want to punch him in the face.

maybe you should call up Joe Sixpack, because I think he might be upset at getting bumped from the McCain debate rhetoric

@Machined, I was under the impression that Joe Sixpack just cleaned up his act a little, cut the drinking, and got a real job. Now you're telling me they're actually different people?!

I watched the video of him and Obama and I have to say that he seems like a pretty decent guy, and Obama spoke with him very frankly. I think if he had an opportunity to meet with McCain in the same way, I think he might rethink who he supports.

Also, if you're a small business that makes less than about $5M a year and you're worried about a 3% tax hike over $250K, you really need to get yourself a better accountant. Small businesses shouldn't be paying any taxes under current tax law (unless you don't know what you're doing). It's healthcare costs that are the small business killer.
