Biden questions 'notion of this guy Joe the plumber'

Posted: 01:15 PM ET

From CNN Associate Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand

Joe Biden says he doesn't know any plumbers that make $250K.

(CNN) — Joe Biden sounded skeptical of “Joe the Plumber” Wurzelbacher’s working-class credentials Thursday.

“You notice John [McCain] continues to cling to the notion of this guy Joe the plumber,” Biden said on NBC’s Today show. “I don't have any Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood that make $250,000 a year that are worried.”

Watch: 'Joe the plumber' on debate

“The Joe the plumbers in my neighborhood, the Joe the cops in my neighborhood, the Joe the grocery store owners in my neighborhood — they make, like 98 percent of the small businesses, less than $250,000 a year,” said the Democratic VP nominee. “And they’re going to do very well under us, and they’re going to be in real tough shape under John McCain.”

McCain cited Wurzelbacher, who questioned Obama about his tax plan during a recent Ohio campaign swing, as someone would face higher taxes under the Democrat’s economic proposals.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for plumbers, pipefitters and steamfitters in the United States in 2007 was $47,350.

His company makes 250k after paying employees and there taxes?

Remember there are so many ways for a person making over 100,000 a year to hide money to lower your tax base and those that make that amount do take advantage of it.

So is that 250k after expenses? cool, he should pay more tax or to put it another way, better he pay the tax then me, he can afford it, I can't.

With as many gaffes as he's had recently, I think Joe Biden will inadvertently vote for McCain-Palin, thinking he was voting AGAINST them.
