Who is a hypocrite and a liar.

Joe "the Plumber" Wurtzelbacher is the perfect symbol for right wing hypocrisy. The guy survived on welfare, a program designed to help the needy that right wingnuts don't like, but now says Obama is not loyal to our country because he wants to take our money and give it to needy people. I guess if it wasn't for welfare he wouldn't be littering our air waves. His 15 minutes are almost up.

Could someone please sit this guy down and explain the facts of life to him?

2. He must think that the total taxes he's paid exceeds what he's received in welfare.
Doesn't work that way, Joe. Probably the biggest share of your federal taxes goes to the Pentagon so they can play their manly war games in the Middle East. Think you got your money's worth out of that? This is what your war-mongering president has done for your tax dollars over the past eight years. Since he's done it while running up the national debt to historic levels, you're also paying more for other things because of the inflationary effect of such spending.

This guy gives idiots a bad name.

3. Actually most of the working pukes have been on welfare at least once in their life time
what with down sizing, massive lay offs in the 80's and these last 8 years. We also know that many of them like many of us grew up on welfare that their parents received, but in the puke mind they weren't on welfare, their parents were. Joe like most pukes think they pay all of the taxes, ( odd when you remember Joe owes the IRS )and democrats pay no taxes because in their minds democrats are welfare queens.

It allows them to disconnect with their actions and replace actions with good intentions, so they only look at their good intentions instead of looking at their actions and behaviors. I have known pukes while they were on welfare, everyone of them insists they are entitled to welfare because they paid so much into taxes, never mind that every year they get income tax checks from the IRS, very few have to pay the IRS every year. It's that puke fuzzy math that allows them to refuse to look at that and only look at how much is taken out of their pay checks.

Also remember SS gets taken out of their pay, they were told that too was a tax not an investment towards their retirement. In their minds because republicans have used the SS surplus to bank roll whatever scam the republicons used the surplus on, it means they were taxed and they aren't getting that money back.

Odd thing about the con supporter, he will never get old, will never become disabled, will never get sick, will never be out of work, so he doesn't need any of these government programs. When the con does find himself there then its spin baby spin.
