A political note:

[pyat]

Joe "The Plumber" Wurzelbacher sounds like a jackass.

Mr Wurzelbacher said Mr Obama's plan to raise taxes to redistribute money was "kind of a socialist viewpoint".

"Robin Hood stole from greedy rich people and redistributed it to the peasants, so to speak, so if he's calling us peasants, I kind of resent that," he said."

He's worried that Obama would tax his prospective business to the tune of 39% instead of the current 36%. So, shouldn't he see himself as one of the "greedy rich people" Robin had to steal from?

*nods* People forget that their expenses expand to meet their income. They think, "I'm making $200K and I'm still living from pay cheque to pay cheque!" Mind you, they also have three cars and an in-ground pool.

Well, expenses don't have to expand to meet income...

Very true. But I suspect someone like Joe the PLumber will be buying multiple Ford trucks and SUVs and complaining about his mortgage...
