Awww, the poor guy......only 250K a year huh. Pleeeaaasseee  .....I'm lucky if I make that much in 4-years my friend. I have zero sympathy for him and anyone like him!!!
Anyone who thinks they've got it tough pulling down 250K a year needs to quit what they're doing now and work at McDonalds for a year to see how the majority pf us live! 
On a side note....interesting read. Say It Isn’t So, Joe! Wurzelbacher Not A Real $250K Plumber? | Steve Young on Politics |

From the original article:

Wurzelbacher said he planned to become the owner of a small plumbing business that will take in more than the $250,000 amount at which Obama plans to begin raising tax rates.

The company only brings in $250,000 a year, not him personally. That's a small company.
And I'm not interested in all the Joe the Plumber conspiracy theories going around right now. He said to Obama that his business only takes in $250,000 and was afraid that Obama was going to raise taxes on it and Obama basically said that yes he was because he wanted to spread the wealth. Everything else, whether Joe really is a plumber or if he is registered to vote and all that, is just a distraction from what Obama said he was going to do to small businesses.
