Anybody else sick of ‘Joe the Plumber’ ? | Yahoo Answers

1) You don't need a Master Plumbers license to be a plumber. Master Plumber License requires years of work underneith a Master Plumber to achieve the license. Most counties around the country don't even require an Apprentis or Journeyman's license to perform plumbing work. In counties that do require plumbing work to be performed by a licensed plumber, it (at strictest) requires that the owner of the company have a Master Plumbers license and he oversee or check the work. Most people, once they attain a Master Plumbers License will open their own business and quit working for their boss, or they'll demand a significantly higher salary. Joe has his Journeymans license, so yes he is licensed (which isn't required everywhere), and he's almost qualified to get his Masters license.

2) He doesn't evade taxes, at one point (unknown as to when), he was behind on his taxes. It's a very common problem around America when people are caught in rough financial times. It could have been when he first got married and before he was an experienced enough plumber to be making a decent wage. Maybe he lost his job and so did his wife. Just because people owe(d) debt in their lives doesn't make them crooks, the vast majority of this country has at one point owed a debt.

Am I sick of hearing about Joe? Yeah, but it does scare the crap out of me that the Obama Campaing attacked a regular citizen in the manner they did. The man had no part in politics and if he would have just left him well-enough-alone, the matter would have passed. Instead, now he has to harrass the guy and spend all this money trying to dig up any dirt he can on him and lie/spin the information into a defamitory campaign. Why? It makes no sense. Now that it's been brough to the public light it's a fine illustration of a great concern against Obama, and no it's not far fetched or a desperate scare tactic.

Besides that, what's up with Biden not answering the hard questions and censoring/black balling News Stations from interviewing him or Obama anymore??
