PHOENIX — Samuel Wurzelbacher, more commonly known as “Joe the Plumber,” is scheduled to make an appearance at Friday’s “Ax the Tax” rally against Proposition 100, which institutes a temporary sales tax increase across Arizona to fill the budget shortfall.
Wurzelbacher rose to fame after he questioned then-presidential-candidate Barack Obama about tax increases at a campaign rally. Both Obama and McCain referred to Wurzelbacher as “Joe the Plumber” during the presidential debates, thus giving him the nickname.
The Yes on Proposition 100 website is sending out e-mails attacking his appearance and asking the question whether you, “…stand with Joe the Plumber or Arizona Children?” The text of the message reads, “This Friday, ‘Joe the Plumber’ is coming to our state to tell us how we should protect education and public safety in Arizona. Our question is: Do you stand with ‘Joe the Plumber’ from Ohio or Arizona children and the Yes on 100 campaign?” Of course, you only stand with Arizona children if you vote YES to tax them into oblivion. This shows that the YES on 100 website is run by the same Obama tax-and-spend Democrats that attacked Joe the Plumber during the Obama campaign.
Since Joe the Plumber no longer supports John McCain, it shows that he has gained some common sense. I think that he might be worth listening to.
