Joe Biden appeared on NBC’s Today show this morning to respond to last
night’s debate, which has made a national icon out of Joe Wurzelbacher,
AKA Joe the Plumber.
Instead of identifying with the working-class man who succeeded into
moving into ownership, as Biden normally would, Biden professed not to
know any small-business owners like Joe who worried about taxes
Biden’s obviously out of touch, and dangerously so. If plumbers like
Joe worry about the heavy tax burden he will incur by owning their own
businesses, they won’t take the risk to launch the ventures. That will
depress job creation and keep people locked into working for larger
employers, the very corporations against which Biden inveighs in this
remarkably substance-free rant.
