Here is a link to a local (St. Louis) news station that

mentions that rmoney mentioned a local electrician in the debate. I clicked the link to see who this person was, but there is no mention of an actual person. It seems like this person would be happy to step up for their stance on taxes and the fact they were mentioned on a nationally televised debate.
It just makes me think there is no real person, they just made someone up to make it seem like people like their ideas.

I thought it only right to post this, in my own response to my own thread (because I like to be fair).
But , now I have more questions. This person claims he paid "64%" of his earnings in taxes. I find that hard to believe. Another part of the article quotes rmoney as saying Obama wants to raise taxes on small businesses to "30 or 40 percent". So why is this guy claiming he pays 64%? I am no tax expert, especially in that guys bracket, but maybe he needs a new accountant. Or maybe he is claiming what he pays into his employees SS and medicare?
Something still not adding up here.
Oh, I'm sorry, I am trying to find truth and sense in what republicans are talking about!
