McCain should have picked a different plumber

I think the 'point' would have more impact if it was actually given by a small business owner.

And anyway, given the scenario this guy gave, I've read that his tax liability would only increase by $800 to $900. Thats enough to keep him from opening his own business?

Merc what information do you have that small businesses are going to take a hit with Obamas plan? I have to admit that I don't know enough of the details.

He has stated, categorically, that he would rais taxes on any person or business that had more than 250k income. That is a whole bunch of small businesses.

I guess we will see when he gets in office. If you make 250K you aleady pay 35% in taxes. Now that would make it 38%. State tax here is 7%. So basically you think these people should pay 45% of every dollar earned?!?!??! WTF? where is the incentive to work? Isn't 42% enough already?

All I can say is the title of this thread is 100% correct.

All's fair in love and politics. McCain should have had him fully vetted prior to using his name a dozen times in the debate.

I don't think they even did that with Sarah Palin.
