Joe The Welfare King
So it turns out that when Plumber Joe was a child, he was on welfare, not once, but twice, and he credits it with helping his family ultimately lead a middle-class life style. He defends having received welfare by saying that he's subsequently paid into the system.

In other words, well-designed taxpayer-funded social assistance programs are fine because ultimately they will pay for themselves.

Suddenly we have Joe The Reasonable, right? Well, not exactly. Plumber Joe has got something of a tax dodging problem. In the end, he's just another typical Republican hypocrite.

And remember we learn he's now living on donations from strangers. I think its going to be interesting in the coming Obama years to see how this *hole fares though I'm tired of seeing his bald mug.

1. he's a low class slob
He has not, as far as I can tell, worked a single day on his plumbing assistant job since he first appeared on TV. He's so full of shit, he has no desire to "buy the plumbing business" he was working for, he is spending all of his time now trying to get away from the business it seems.

He should apply for a job as a spokesman for Massengill, he'd be a perfect fit! :rofl:
