Two people, two opinions on our precious Joe the Plumber...

Faye Nicholson:
After listening to a major news correspondent embedded with the Obama campaign explain the Obama campaign’s answer to Joe the Plumber about why he should give more of his money to the government, I have a question… If Joe the Plumber gives X amount of money to Barrack Obama  and Obama gives this same X amount of money to Middle America, then Middle America turns right back around and gives the same X amount of money back to Joe the Plumber to buy his goods and services, how will Joe’s business ever grow? How will he ever grow it enough to employ more of Middle America? How will he ever grow it enough to pay more taxes? Why would he want to? And the scariest question of all -- What incentive would Middle America have to grow, if all their needs are being met by Joe? It’s like saying, “Here. Here’s some of my hard earned money so you can pay me to do more hard work for you.” It just doesn’t make any sense! Who is it fair to? Certainly not Joe! Joe probably knows better than anybody who needs his hard earned money, given out of good heart. And that’s what will lift, not only those who receive Joe’s money as a gift, but also Joe, himself. The Obama campaign reasons that if Joe the Plumber doesn’t give more of his money to Middle America, there won’t be anybody who has money to pay for his services. Please explain to me, how are you making any money, and how is it fair, if you are getting paid with your own money? And how is that Capitalism? Or is it something else entirely?

Comment by Bob Good:
I find it very interesting that Joe the Plumber finds it very interesting that he cant "share the wealth" of PROSPERITY with other fellow Americans when he is SHARING the FREEDOM that was kept on this LAND from other people that SHARED THEIR LIVES when they went overseas to fight for our FREEDOM in MANY WARS, no matter if the war was warranted or not. THE VERY FREEDOM that he is enjoying to have the possibility to have a company that HE IS ALLOWED TO OWN here vs what other countries do instead of our CAPITALISTIC economy. SO JOE, I ASK YOU IS IT FAIR that OTHERS HAVE LOST THEIR LOVED ONES "SHARING their OWN FAMILY MEMBER" to DEFEND THESE VERY LIBERTIES that ALLOW YOU TO MAKE THIS MONEY HERE? Funny how we as a nation can be so selfish to our own small sighted objectives and yet we fail to realize how others have given so much more when they GAVE THEIR LIVES instead of giving any money that you selfishly, and BITTERLY cant have any heart to do what the VERY FABRIC oF BEING AN AMERICAN STANDS FOR. WE HAVE BEEN KNOWN to HELP OTHERS AS GOD ASKS US TO. LIVES VS A FEW BUCKS JOE, WHICH IS THE CHEAPER OF THE TWO TO GIVE?
