![]() ![]() John McCain, Obama’s 2008 opponent, capitalized on this incident in the final presidential debate to prove that Obama favored socialist policies that would take money from hard-working Americans and redistribute it. Obama affirmed Joe’s question, adding, “…right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody.” ![]() “Your new tax plan’s going to tax me more, isn’t it?” he inquired. When Obama approached his front yard for a campaign event, Joe told him that he was about to buy a plumbing company “that makes 250 to 280 thousand a year.” He was tagged with the new moniker by the McCain-Palin campaign after he questioned then-Democratic nominee Barack Obama about his tax plan that would increase taxes on small business owners. Before then, he was just your average American, a conservative, blue collar, Air Force veteran working for a plumbing company outside of Toledo, Ohio. You might recognize the name Joe “the Plumber” Wurzelbacher from the 2008 presidential election. Otherwise, please pray for God’s grace, comfort, and provision over this family as they walk through the coming months. If you feel compelled to donate to their cause, please do. Friends of the Wurzelbacher family are now asking the public for help. ![]()
