Talk about irony-Joe the Plumber hopes to become Joe the Community Organizer
"I got no financial offers. I am broke," Joe Wurzelbacher said Monday, explaining that he's got a few ideas on how to spread the wealth to himself and others following bogus reports of a professional management deal and potential country music career.

"I am starting a charity up, it's called 'Secure Our Dream.' It's just about people, neighbors in the community," Wurzelbacher told FOXNews.com.

1. Broke, huh?
Gee, that modest Obama tax hike for people over $250,000 was really going to hit home, wasn't it?

Maybe if you'd go pick up a pipe wrench and get your lazy crack back to work, you might not be broke, no? :shrug: :eyes:

bootstraps, Joe, bootstraps! :rofl:

Joe the plumber, out of work but worried about making over $250k.

Damn - that's funny.

12. Worried about the >$250K income earners?
describes Neal Boortz' audience to a T. (And much of the rest of the AM talk-radio audience. But especially Boortz'.)

7. yeah, it's over
but he's too damn dumb to know it. He's no longer useful to the GOP and he's been kicked to the curb. I'd like to know exactly how he became "unemployed" all of a sudden. :evilgrin:
