PRESS CONFERENCE: GOP LAWSUIT SNARES AVERAGE JOES
If GOP Lawsuit Succeeds, Voters Like Joe the Plumber Could be Disenfranchised
Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern will hold a press conference this afternoon to discuss the potential impact of Republican lawsuits on voters in similar circumstances to “Joe the Plumber” whose last name – Wurzelbacher – appears with an “o” instead of a “u” on registration rolls. Since he is not a new registrant, Joe himself would probably not be among the 200,000 cases who Republicans claim are possible cases of fraud – but other Ohioans in similar situations who are newly registered could be disenfranchised.
WHO: Ohio Democratic Party Chairman Chris Redfern
WHAT: Press conference to discuss the impact of Republican lawsuits on voters like Joe the Plumber.
WHEN: THURSDAY, October 16, 2008 – 3:00 PM
WHERE: Ohio Statehouse (State Street Steps), Columbus
November 5, where are you?

Jill here’s an interview with Joe the plumber and his words are clear and simple enough I think you’ll have no problem understanding his point. The very last point he makes is especially important for you to absorb, “don’t just take everyone else’s opinion.”
One thing I noticed about Joe that differs from the socialist followers of this ideology is he doesn’t have class envy which is the basis for this redistribution agenda. He sees the harder he works the more successful he’ll be which is a great message to send people sitting at home collecting a welfare check.
It will be very hard for Obama to overcome this part of his platform if the public sees this interview because it makes sense. People will be able to imagine themselves in a position of earning a higher wage and realize this isn’t fair or just. If Joe is able to see to his future success many other Americans will as well. I don’t agree with McCain on this issue but I do not agree with a socialist approach no matter what direction the wealth flows.

P.S. I hope you read the book link I gave you, This redistribution ideology is part of the group called the “cousins” in the book. Those that don’t contribute to the labor but expect an equal share of the wealth.
I got a call from my plumber today, I said to him “Jason the Plumber”, he laughed “not to be confused with Joe the Plumber”. I said hey Jason you earn 250K in personal income? He laughed. We agreed that the topic was cloudy on what is personal income and what is taxable on a small business. He owns his business and laughed it would require being a president of something like Rotoroter to earn that. Small business tax is not on the net, it after all the deductibles and Joe needs to talks to a tax accountant as so does McCain and Obama as well.

These are all expenditures and we should be able to see them associated with a specific person by household regionally. A map of parcels green are independent pay in and red take out. Then the object to convert it all to green.
That’s not the only cost, there are per capita costs, those get reduced through regional governments.
accountability and efficiency.
That requires deflation, it requires global competitiveness.
Redistribution is a fallacy, it in reality is about compromises and even giving things up, to many exceeded limits and we are basically a running on interest only. The hidden dept is not hiding.
We are one big equation with multiplicities of relationships. That get addressed sections functions, into manageable units. All linked to one common system. In and out are either losses, breakeven or gains. Losses can be limited and only acceptable in life threatening matters. Compensation and opportunity need to abound. Ever been to Disney world…people get paid to pick up paper. Are we paying people for nothing, that’s bad.
I hope we did not wait to long, we are getting some bad warning signs, I would say wouldn’t you say…ey?
If change begins then do not rant….am I ranting? I am doing a lot of research and have been for decades. I am not sure why but I see it coming, its the math I see the relationships.
I would like to test people, hook them to a lie detector and find the liars then find the truthful people. If it is genetic can we tattoo them with BFL and not allow them access to anything important? I hate lies, I really get messed up when people intentionally mislead people. I hate when people lie to themselves, I am like wake up get out of the closet you live in.
Smart people at the top, dumb people at the bottom I have dyslexia I am under the poverty line intentionally by choice, judge me. Go ahead its your soul.
