Joe the Plumber was attacked right after this famous scene. Notice how Obama does not differentiate between gross and net income.
ok, let's settle this once and for all
no one gave Wurzelbacher shit for asking the questions. They gave his shit for lying about his background and for being too stupid the comprehend that his taxes would only go up on that small amount over 250k and since his taxes under that amount would actually go down he would actually be saving money.
Also, Wurzelbacher is the one who said the business "makes" 260k to 270k a year. Did he distinguish between gross receipts (revenue) and net taxable income. I didn't see it. The assumption was that he was talking net but I suspect he doesn't even know the difference and couldn't read a tax return to save his life.
BTW - he started to get shit only after his personal story unfolded (not really a plumber, not really buying the business, delinquent on taxes, formerly only welfare, etc...)
He got shit on for being a liar and a fraud and also being the poster child for DUMB and ANGRY
Do you get it now?
He didn't get shit for merely asking a question
