Also, his taxes would go down in greater amounts under Obama's plan vs. McCain's. And speaking of taxes, he has a tax lien against him.
Another typical Republican fairy tale, deconstructed by the truth. Damn that internet anyway!
C'mon Rich, let's get our facts accurate:
He is a plumber - he works for someone who is licensed.
He hopes to buy a plumbing business in the future but a) his employer's company isn't for sale and b) he doesn't have enough money to buy it anytime soon even if it were for sale. The guy has a goal he hopes to achieve and I find that commendable.
The 250-280K figure for the plumbing company may be accurate; you know how those hypocritical Republican small business owners like to underreport their profits.
Both McCain's plan and Obama's plan are fairy tales. No matter what the overall tax burden (not just the Federal income tax) is going to go up for all but those making less than 50K or so because of historic Federal debt obligations.
