Plumber for Sale
I favor a major overhaul of America’s tax system. So why do I object to Joe the Plumber’s advocacy on that subject? Well, I find it objectionable to cast oneself as a champion for regular Americans, only to exploit the misplaced trust of the most credulous among them.
Joe has a very, “I won’t be under sold!” vibe going on in this piece de resistance. How long before our friend winds up permanently working the infomercial circuit?
