Dear Ohio

Dear Ohio,

How its been a while since I've written to you. I know its not very neighborly of me to ignore you this much, but I'm afraid, I write to you today to warn you of one of your children. It would seem that one of your sons, whom goes by Joe the Plumber, is in trouble of repeating the past. First of all, Joe isn't really his first name and he's not even a licensed plumber. So he's already showing signs of disillusion. Second, he plans on making over $250,000 when he buys his bosses business.

Course that's the real reason I write today. Your son Joe is worried that when he makes over $250,000 a year after expenses, he's gonna be in a higher tax bracket under the Obama plan. Which is true, if he made say $280,000 after expenses, he would have to own an extra $600 to Uncle Sam. You see, your boy Joe is heading in the direction of cowardly proportions. He has no interest in giving that extra $600 to the police, fire department, roads, airports, hospitals and schools. And at a time of a two front war, he really has no interest in sharing the wealth to the military that are still in need of proper armor, cleaning supplies for their guns, vehicle maintenance, and even a change of clothes. Or to help the military's family, when one of our own die in combat.

But no. Joe, already late, can't even pay his taxes now and support George Bush's War. The reality: Joe's no independent voter. He's no swing voter. He hates taxes, and in turn hates everything taxes pay for. For that, he is a coward, unpatriotic...and a cheap plant. Perhaps he wants the mighty Irish tax plan that McCain loves. And the mighty Irish military and senior citizen revolts that come with it.
