Joe Biden just finished giving a speech at the Greensburg Salem High School. Five hundred attendees filled this quintessential high school gym to hear Joe speak about the economy and Barack Obama's plan for change.

He was introduced by Dan Rooney, Pittsburgh Steelers owner and member of the NFL Hall of Fame and Norma Margonari, a local woman who comes from a family of coal miners. Norma is retired now, and after her husband passed away, she moved to Greensburg and got involved in various community organizations, including visiting nursing homes and teaching CCD. As a retiree, Norma is specifically concerned about her pension and future healthcare costs.

During his speech, Joe compared Barack Obama's tax plan for the middle class to John McCain's, explaining that McCain's plan would represent "the largest tax increase in the history of America for the middle class."

Here's a clip from Joe's speech, explaining John McCain's plan to tax healthcare benefits:
