Of course I can espouse his legal risks. You see there are several parts to the written portion of all trade tests including plumbing. There is the practical portion and the business/legal portion. I am a licensed builder and have taken and passed the required tests and know the content regarding his legal risks.
In fact you don't even have the facts correct. He isn't running his own business, he's working for Allan Newell, an licensed plumber in the State of Ohio.

Agreed, Joe the plumber is a "legitimate moron" used to distract people so they waste time on trivial crap and to sell them on false promises about tax cuts, while the economy is crumbling to where Joe has no job.
Joe Six-Pack, Joe the Plumber, Joe Jobless Reuters
For evidence of the consequences of this decline, we have to look no further than the nation's crumbling physical foundation -- unsafe roads and skies, collapsing bridges, breaking levies, understaffed emergency rooms.
As unemployment rises and more jobs across the technology, financial, retail and other sectors decline, an emphasis on helping more individuals move into skilled trades and rewarding those who are working in them will not only be good for Joe Six Pack and Joe Plumber, it will provide opportunity for the fastest growing group of Joes - Joe Jobless.

McCain supported the bail out, which I thought could have been better dealt with by using other means. I did not support the bailout, however, it will be paid back, and with interest. This was not done with a socialist takeover mentality.

If "Joe" can't afford to pay his taxes and license what the hell does he do with his "+$250k" yr income?
How can some folks believe his B.S? Probably the same folks that believe war (guaranteed by a McCain presidency) will help the economy.

OMG! A hypothetical question. Doesn't Joe realize that politicians do not deal in the hypotheticals, only reality?
No he wasn't worried about taxes on money he doesn't have, he was worried about the future of tax rates on sole proprietor businesses. Ya see, while you and I waste our time on conspiracy websites there are people who actually have ambition and try to optimize their future.
