He's baaaack! Sam or Joe the plumber showed up in Florida yesterday, July 4, at a Tea Party to protest the government's rapacious tax policies...I caught just the tail end of it, but I believe it was in the town of Apopka that the dimwit paraded his nonsense. There's a lot of nonsense "paraded" about on July 4th.Sam (Joe), as you recall, is the unlicensed plumber who failed to pay his taxes, but was nevertheless put on a pedestal by the Republican Party as a symbol of the "average" working American for whom the Republican Party lives and dies.
Oh, stop laughing. That's true!
This empty-headed twit spoke yesterday about how the government is bad and taxes are bad and he has the answers. What are those answers? Hmmm. He did suggest that people ought to read the Constitution. Other than that, I'm not sure. Don't pay your taxes?
Now, Joe (Sam) admitted one time that he'd probably take "handouts" from the guv'mint when he retired, albeit reluctantly...even though, if he was truly a working man he would have paid in substantial monies to the government in order to get some of it back.
Sam (Joe) further failed to mention how he would pay for police and fire protection, construction and repair of roads, regulation of airplanes, trucks and railroads, prisons, schools, and lifeguards, etc., etc., if people didn't pay their taxes.
Nevertheless, the hoi polloi stood around, applauded his "stimulating" rhetoric, took pictures of his bald head, and generally acted patriotic. Patriotism comes alive on July 4th, you know. In Florida, all true patriots buy illegal fireworks (they have to lie to get them) and then proceed to blow up hundreds of dollars worth of the stuff in their driveways, threatening to burn down their neighbor's houses and drive the local animals into hiding.
Not so long ago, I read that Joe (Sam) might enter politics. It depends on what God tells him to do. But wouldn't it be nice to have a "real" Uncle Sam?
