You can buy or start a business by 1. Getting a loan from the bank 2. Have an angel investor 3. Launch a venture with an associate/partner 4. Take equity out of your home etc... :rolleyes:
You are not suppose to be rich to launch a business you know :rolleyes:

in each of those situations you are giving up a substantial portion of the profits, thus, he will not be earnings 250K anyway.

he's not going to earn 250k yearly with a capital investment of 250k on plumbing stuff

That's great. But Joe still wouldn't be making 250k/yr...:rolleyes:
And in this liquidity freeze, you can bet he won't be getting that bank loan. And how many angel investors want to invest a damn plumbing company?

I dunno...non-cyclical, steady, cash generating business with low overhead. It's not like people will choose to let the pipes burst and let the house flood because they're too strapped to call a plumber. It's a pretty recession resistant business. Might be right in the wheelhouse of many investors these days. I think you'd be surprised. I'd think the biggest potential headwind might be dealing with unions, though I don't know if Joe is unionized.

Joe is a sucker and a pawn in McShame's desperate game.
McCain makes him famous then blames Obama for his being in the spotlight. Joe's loving the spotlight and McCain, not Obama put him in it.
Joe makes 40K and can't afford to pay 1200 in back taxes. I'm sure the McCain's will pay it for him...you know for his time campaining for them and all. He's not even close to "saving enough money to buy his own business". And, unfortunaley he's too brainwashed (or stupid?) to realize that Obama's health and economic plans will help him reach his goal LONG BEFORE McCain's will. As long as he makes less than 250K HIS TAXES WILL NOT INCREASE ONE DIME!. If he suddenly begins making more 275K a year., he will pay an extra 3% on the 25K -- NOT THE WHOLE 275k. That's pretty close to rate under the Clinton administration when times were good!
God forbid poor Joe gets sick. John McCain's gonna give him 5K (2K if he's single) to go out and find good insurance. Good luck with that Joe.
Enjoy your 15 minutes of fame. Maybe FAUX News will offer you your own racist talk show.

Why do they hate Joe The Plumber? Why do they hate America? All he did was ask a question! Everything about JTP is a non sequitur. Why won't these damned media stop dragging Joe down?

SARASOTA, Fla. – John McCain stopped at a series of small businesses along central Florida’s I-4 corridor on Wednesday, hoping to win-over economically-anxious voters with a bus tour through one of the Sunshine State’s most buffeted and hotly contested regions.
Today’s outing was dubbed the “Joe the Plumber Tour,” after the Ohio voter who critically questioned Barack Obama’s tax plans and became a rhetorical fixture in the last presidential debate. Joe’s complaints have become a recurring theme for McCain in the final weeks of the 2008 race. Today, he was on the prowl for all sorts of small business owners who he could elevate to Everyman status, signaling out “David The Dentist” at a stop at Coatom Periodontal in Altamonte Springs. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1008/14892.html
Oh. Who's David The Dentist? *dun dun dun*

Joe the Plumber open to 2010 run
(CNN) – Could Joe the Plumber become Joe the congressman?
Joe Wurzelbacher, the most famous plumber in America thanks to John McCain and Sarah Palin, told conservative talk radio host Laura Ingraham Friday he's considering a run for Congress in 2010.
That would pit Wurzelbacher against longtime Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur for Ohio's 9th district on the state’s northern border, which includes Toledo and Sandusky. "I'll tell you what, we'd definitely be in one heck of a fight, Marcy Kaptur definitely has a following in this area," he said of the possibility. "But, you know, I'd be up for it."
Wurzelbacher's chances would likely be slim. Kaptur has served in the district for 25 years, and remains a popular figure there. She won reelection in 2006 with nearly 75 percent of the vote and is expected to easily sail through another reelection this year.
But Wurzelbacher, who gained fame after he challenged Barack Obama on his tax plan earlier this month, has attained a certain rock-star status in the Republican Party and his entrance into the race would likely be greeted with instant excitement and media coverage.
Ingraham herself said she would immediately volunteer for his campaign and help him with campaign advertising and PR. Meanwhile, the National Republican Congressional Committee said they would welcome Wurzelbacher's candidacy with "open arms.”
"We support Joe the Plumber and people like him everyday with our support for lower taxes and energy independence," NRCC spokesman Ken Spain said.
But a spokesman for Kaptur told CNN Wurzelbacher is already off on the wrong foot.
"We just had another big layoff at the jeep plant, another 800 workers," Kaptur spokesman Steve Fought said. "So embracing Bush-McCain economics is kind of a strange way to launch your campaign. I'd have to question that strategy"
Wurzelbacher's comments come a week after a group of college Republicans launched a Web site with the hope of drafting him for a congressional run.
“Washington, DC is broken and it needs to be fixed. Joe Wurzelbacher has a real-world perspective and the right attitude to clean up the mess on Capitol Hill,” says the group’s Web site, which carries the slogan, “Plunge the crap out of Washington.”
