Joe doesn’t have a plumbing license
We heard plenty about Joe the plumber last night. AP is reporting he doesn't have a plumbing license:
HOLLAND, Ohio (AP) _ Joe the plumber says he doesn't have a plumbing license.
Joe Wurzelbacher said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. He said that because he works for someone else, he doesn't need a license.
Wurzelbacher was cited by Republican candidate John McCain Wednesday night in the presidential debate as an example of someone who wants to buy a plumbing business but would be hurt by Barack Obama's tax plans. The Democrat said that his tax plan would only affect people making more than $250,000 a year.
Wurzelbacher, 34, said he was surprised that his name was mentioned so many times.
ABC News is also reporting that Joe hasn't always paid his taxes.
