Joe the Plumber is currently surviving off donations from strangers.

Karma's a bitch...

"I'm not getting paid for things. It's starting to get hard to eat," the now-famous Joe the Plumber tells INSIDE EDITION's Deborah Norville.

What is this, Russia?

On the eve of election day, Joe, a single dad, told INSIDE EDITION he's getting by with help from friends and family, along with donations from well-wishers.

"It's hard being on the receiving end, a little bit of pride gets in there sometimes," admits Joe.

"So you just go to the mailbox and there's an envelope with a check in it, written to your name?" marvels Norville.

"Yes ma'am," Joe says.

With the help of these unidentified checks from shadowy sources, Joe has been able to do some pro bono plumbing for his friend—an Obama supporter. Of course, if McCain won, Joe would probably be set for life. But he won't, so Joe better get back to plumbin'. He has the potential to dominate the Holland, Ohio drain cleaning market, if he acts now.

1. Isn't that redistribution of wealth? n/t

[StopTheNeoCons]

33. Joe The Socialist

[JI7]

2. i think he is getting paid by the McCain camp RNC indirectly

[Breeze54]

25. I said that the other day here and was resoundingly told that that wasn't true!1!

Glad to see there are others here whom aren't snowed by his sudden rise to the spotlight!!
Of course the GOP is paying Joe the Bumber! Why else would an overweight bald guy
(looks like a neo-nazi to me) be getting such coverage? He's a paid shill from the GOP,
just like Palin and I think it's pathetically obvious!

"Great minds think alike." ;)

[Wapsie B]

31. Yeah I think so too.

[juno jones]

3. So he's a leech as well. n/t

[IndianaGreen]

4. Hey, Joe! Those checks are gifts and you have to declared them in your tax return

Being an Ohio tax evader, you don't need to add the feds to that.

[bettyellen]

5. i'd tell him to "Get a job" but I'm sure he here's that from his fellow republicans, right?

[Lint Head]

6. But at least he'll get a tax break. Maybe he needs continuing adult education.

:dem:

[RagAss]

7. Go plunge turds !

[AlCzervik]

8. Pull yourself up by your bootstraps Joe i mean Sam, stop being lazy.

[AspenRose]

9. Sounds like socialism to me

:think:

[Motown_Johnny]

10. Each to his own ability, Each to his own needs.. Joe is living the dream.

Karl Marx's Dream!!!!!

[LisaL]

11. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't he supposed to be

buying a business worth 250,000 $?

[CoffeeCat]

12. Wow, Joe...

...Are you SURE you want to be taking money from people who appear
to be "spreading the wealth?"

I mean...you don't want to be accused of practicing socialism, do you?

Interesting that Joe is putting the word out that he needs money--I guess
"redistributing" money, in the form of checks in Joe's mailbox--is a brilliant
idea now, eh Joe?

:sarcasm:

[IndianaGreen]

17. Joe is a con man

and as I said on this thread, that money he is getting has to be declared as gifts on his 2008 tax return.

[deadparrot]

13. Then he might want to get a plumbing license.

Funny that he doesn't mind being on the other end of the "redistribution of wealth."

[justiceischeap]

14. Sounds kinda like welfare... (eom)

[BlooInBloo]

15. Holy Tragicomic, Batman!!

:rofl:

[Mariana]

16. Over on Free Republic, they were collecting money for him.

Some of them were of the opinion that he'd refuse to accept the money and would be insulted at the idea of being given a handout.

[TornadoTN]

Some Idol he turned out to be

Everything that they tried to attach to this guy has fallen flat and empty. Now he's taking handouts to keep himself afloat.

I thought he was going to buy a business with his "money"? What happened to that? Fucking charlatan

[Naturyl]

36. LOL... what kool-aid drinkers they are.

Haven't they learned yet that their fellow Republicans are NEVER too proud to take a handout when one is actually on the table? As long as Joe keeps preaching about "hard work" and "personal responsibility" it's fine to live off the contributions of others.

That's how hypocrisy works.

[tularetom]

18. A "little bit of pride" didn't get in there when he reneged on paying his taxes

fuggin loser!

Face it Joe nobodys trying to redistribute your "wealth" away from you. They're trying to give you money. And you're too "proud" to take what somebody is offering you?

My granddaughter is right. Joe the fake plumber is too stoopid to live.

[TornadoTN]

19. Seems like Socialism is working for this guy

At least by his definition, since anyone giving money to someone else is "Socialism" and we all know he's afraid that he's scared of the USA becoming a SOCIALIST nation if Obama wins.


What a fucking moron. I hate to say it, but this guy deserves the karmic comeuppance that he's getting dealt back at him.

[Naturyl]

20. "So you just go to the mailbox and there's an envelope with a check in it, written to your name?"

Wait a minute here. Don't people like Joe call that WELFARE?

Oh, but since Joe is being a useless bum on the dime of "shadowy sources" rather than government, it's okay.

[IndianaGreen]

27. It is called a "gift" and it is taxable by IRS

and Joe better declare it on his tax return next year, or he will be in trouble with feds.

[Lost-in-FL]

21. Hey welfare king... get to work!

Get your fucking license.

[NYC_SKP]

22. I see, this is the same bastard who was gonna buy a business for $250K

Fucking liar, plant, piece of shit, I hope he gets all the bad he has coming to him.

Loser.

[TornadoTN]

32. Karma is a cruel mistress, Mr. The Plumber

So now he exposes in plain site that the big lie that he told to Obama was a farce all along. Now the only thing that we need to find out is who paid him to do that or who sent him out there to confront Obama. To Obama's credit, he answered the question awesomely but it still is a bit too convienant especially given how McCain latched onto it.

In a few days, Joe will be off the T.V. and out of the vocabulary of most Americans (aside from the Freepers who fap to Palin and Joe photos). In a few years, they'll be doing a "True Hollywood Story" on E! detailing the fall of Joe the Plumber, including interviews of him lamenting his bad luck due to alcohol and blow, idiocy and the GOP.

[Why Syzygy]

23. People are not paying him for "things"?

What things? Did he think the RNC was going to put him on the payroll? What a lame ass publicity stunt.

[LynnTheDem]

24. SOCIALIST!!1!

What an idiot.

[JenniferJuniper]

26. "pro bono" plumbing? Might that really be "under the table" plumbing?

Tax evasion? Say it ain't so, Joe.

[AZBlue]

28. WHAT?!?!?

What has he done to deserve any charity??

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Did anyone donate him some suspenders?

[seaker]

35. Sad

So sad...good thing our new President will be there to help him pull himself up by his suspenders!

[NotThisTime]

30. What a loser...

[FM Arouet666]

34. Joe better get used to it.

When McCain loses he will get dropped kicked back into obscurity. Years from now he will be an answer to a Trivial Pursuit question. Counting, 12, 13, 14, 15 minutes. Your done.

Joe the has-been. But there is always hope.....



:rofl:

[bluedawg12]

37. Get a job, douche! n/t

[beac]

38. Strangers spread their wealth around so Joe can spread his BS around.

From each idjit according to his ability to each idjit according to his need for glory. :crazy:
