Joe Ain’t No Plumber

Posted on October 16, 2008 in Campaign 2008

Mr. Wulzerbacher’s notoriety has raised the ire of Tom Joseph, business manager for Local 50 of the United Association of Plumbers, Steamfitters, and Service Mechanics, who claimed that Mr. Wulzerbacher didn’t undergo any apprenticeship training.

“When you have guys going out there with no training whatsoever, it’s a little disreputable to start with,” Mr. Joseph said. “We’re the real Joe the Plumber.”

Seems Joe the Plumber not only doesn’t have a plumber’s license (he has to have his own to practice), but he has never undergone apprenticeship and he’s a tax cheat.

Details unearthed at Daily KOS further suggest that he already has his own small business empire.

Or he makes only about $40,000 a year.

This man has lied to the nation. I would hate to be one of his customers.
