Joe The Tax Evader
When I first saw what seemed to be a very contrived/deliberate use by McCain of this "average Joe" and how he used it as a focal point/relatable character in his "debate", I thought -- this guy was a McCain set-up. Now we find out that "Joe," who is so worried about his precious money being paid in the form of taxes (if he's making over $250K/year, he's doing all right) is actually a big greedy slug because he is behind $1200 in state taxes in Ohio and has a lien on his property. This is no "average Joe" -- an average Joe pays his taxes. Also, it is patriotic to pay your taxes -- like Thomas Friedman says, your taxes pay for our troops abroad, pay for education of our children (not necessarily our bad infrastructure though) -- I'm tired of all the emotional politics about taxation. It's a bunch of bunk -- pay the damn taxes Joe! This guy should be called Joe The Tax-Evader
