Default If Joe The Plumber Really Understood The Obama Plan...

...and he was still "infuriated" by it, then that would suggest that Joe has annual income of more than $250,000 per year. That puts him in the top 4% of income earners in the U.S. That is the only group of taxpayers who would pay more under the Obama plan.

I know everyone wants to think of Joe as a guy in a dirty t-shirt pulling on a pipe-wrench. But in fact Joe must be making a lot more money than 95% of Americans. He can be infuriated, but he's one of the people who has benefited the most from the tax reductions of the last eight years that have been so heavily tilted to the wealthy.
