His name is Sam, he isn't a licensed plumber, and owes over $1,000 in back taxes (thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com)

*punches znufrii in the nads for mentioning Joe the Plumber again* -- nm - John McCain Oct 16, 11:41 1
- Not that I totally trust anything in the initial media feeding frenzy, but now people are saying he may be related to Charles Keating? -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 16, 11:43
The one thing that seems to be misunderstood about the $250K seems to be the difference between a small business bringing in that much vs income. -- nm - Dano Go Lucky Oct 16, 11:39 8
- More like 99% of Americans don't care to start their own business, ever -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:41 1
  - and 99% of the 1% who do will claim less than $250,000 income. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 11:45
- or more accurately, revenue vs. earnings -- nm - znufrii Oct 16, 11:40
- That whole thing is kinda fuzzy for me. -- nm - Jim Oct 16, 11:40 4
  - In that there is a difference between a business earning in excess of $250K, but the owner making less than that. -- nm - TFox Oct 16, 11:44 3
    - For most small businesses, that is the same, if by earnings you mean net income -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:46 1
      - (sole proprietorships) -- nm - con_carne Oct 16, 11:47
    - The whole tax plan and how it effects the small business owner, who's business makes that much, but he does not. - Jim Oct 16, 11:46
Turns out the other "Joe the plumber" is in fact registered. -- (link) - VMan Oct 16, 11:35 2
- Under the Ohio case that's going to court, would he be purged from the rolls? -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 11:41 1
  - Haven't heard anything of the case to comment and of course IANAL. -- nm - VMan Oct 16, 11:44
