Obama's tax plan for Joe "the plumber"

This blog is about Obama's new tax plan. How the people, who make $250,000 or more a year, will have their taxes raised. Joe Wurzelbacher, a.k.a joe "the plumber", is questioned about how much his income is, personally I think it is rude to ask joe what his income is, however, he tells the world it is not nearly as much as $250,000. Obama's plan is to lower the taxes on lower/middle class people and raise it for the higher class who make $250,000 or more a year. Joe, who does not make high enough to have to worry about being taxed higher, wants to purchase the plumbing business for $250,000 to $280,000 which then would cause him to have to pay higher on his taxes. Joe is asked if he is in the category of Obama's tax plan and he responds not presently, then asks so he's going to do that now for people who make $250,000 a year. When's he going to decide that $100,000 is too much? I mean, you know, you're on a slippery slope here. You vote on somebody who decides that $250,000 and you're rich? And $100,000 and you're rich? I mean, where does it end? You know, that's -- people got to ask that question." The intended audience in this blog is everyone. Especially the higher class people needs to pay attention to Obama's tax plan considering it concerns them more because they would be the ones being taxed more. The argument is basically between Obama and his tax plan and Joe and his income tax. I do'nt disagree on the lowering tax for the lower class but i am not sure if it is fair to raise the tax for the higher class just because they make more money.
