'Joe the Plumber' owes back income taxes in Ohio

Joe Wurzelbacher, or as Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain dubbed him during Wednesday's presidential debate, "Joe The Pumber," laughs while chatting with the press outside of his home in Holland, Ohio, today.

Share Print Email Del.icio.usDiggTechnoratiYahoo! Buzz "Joe the Plumber," the Toledo, Ohio, man whose complaints about Barack Obama's tax plan were featured in the final presidential debate, owes the state of Ohio almost $1,200 in back income taxes.

According to records on file with the Lucas County Court of Common Pleas, the state filed a tax lien against Samuel J. Wurzelbacher for $1,182.98 on Jan. 26, 2007, that is still active.

Wurzelbacher was thrust into the national spotlight this week when he told Obama he worried that the Illinois senator's proposals to roll back Bush administration tax breaks for Americans earning more than $250,000 would prevent him from buying a plumbing business that would earn between $250,000 and $280,000 a year.

Republican John McCain, the Arizona senator, pointed to the exchange during the debate last night when he turned to the camera and said, "I will not stand for a tax increase on small- business income." Directly criticizing Obama, he added, "what you want to do to 'Joe the Plumber' and millions more like him is have their taxes increased and not be able to realize the American dream of owning their own business."

Today, at a rally in Downingtown, Pa., McCain said that "the real winner last night was 'Joe the Plumber.'"

Wurzelbacher's home telephone number is unlisted, and efforts to reach him by calling his neighbors and family were unsuccessful. Attempts to reach Wurzelbacher at the plumbing company where he works were also unsuccessful. The address on the lien and other records for him matched the address published by the Toledo Blade, which also noted the lien.

The state of Ohio places a lien on real property after several steps to try to collect a tax debt, according to John Kohlstrand, a spokesman for the Ohio Department of Taxation who said he couldn't discuss any specific case.

If a delinquency notice goes unheeded, the Department of Taxation issues a billing notice, Kohlstrand said. If that is ignored, a more formal assessment notice is sent. Failing to appeal an assessment or losing an appeal puts the debt into the hands of the state attorney general for collection. The attorney general typically sends a collection notice and simultaneously files a lien.

"The taxpayers may not necessarily know about the lien," Kohlstrand said, although they would receive other notices.

In Wurzelbacher's case, the lien indicated that the notice was sent to a previous address in Toledo.

Under Obama's proposal, Wurzelbacher would face about $900 more in taxes if he netted $280,000 of income from his new business, said Gerald Prante, a senior economist at the Tax Foundation, a Washington research group that is examining both candidates' plans. "His average tax burden, the final bill he pays to the IRS isn't going to go up much if he's just making $280,000 a year," Prante said. He would face higher marginal tax costs to expand the business beyond that, he said.

Also, Wurzelbacher told the Associated Press earlier today he doesn't have a plumber's license and doesn't need one.

Wurzelbacher said he works for a small plumbing company that does residential work. Because he works for someone else, he doesn't need a license, he said.

But the county Wurzelbacher and his employer live in, Lucas County, requires plumbers to have licenses. Neither Wurzelbacher nor his employer are licensed there, said Cheryl Schimming of Lucas County Building Regulations, which handles plumber licenses in parts of the county outside Toledo.


Wurzelbacher, who voted in the Republican primary and indicated he backed McCain, said he was surprised that his name was mentioned so many other times.

"That bothered me. I wished that they had talked more about issues that are important to Americans," he told reporters gathered outside his home.

Wurzelbacher, 34, said he doesn't have a good plan put together on how he would buy Newell Plumbing and Heating in nearby Toledo.

He said the business consists of owner Al Newell and him. Wurzelbacher said he's worked there for six years and that the two have talked about his taking it over at some point.

"There's a lot I've got to learn," he said.

Wurzelbacher said he started his day with an early morning workout and came back to his suburban Toledo home to do live interviews with TV networks.

Reporters camped out by his house overnight and by midmorning there were 21 people on his driveway surrounding him, holding cameras and notebooks.

Wurzelbacher said he's feeling overwhelmed.

"I'm kind of like Britney Spears having a headache. Everybody wants to know about it," he joked.

As he leaned against the Dodge Durango SUV parked in his driveway this morning, Wurzelbacher indicated to reporters who crowded around that he was a conservative, a fan of the military and McCain. He said meeting McCain would be an honor but said he hadn't been contacted by the Republican campaign.

Still, the plumber wouldn't say who he was voting for and brushed off a question about whether he could influence the election or other voters.

"I don't have a lot of pull. It's not like I'm Matt Damon," Wurzelbacher said.

"I just hope I'm not making too much of a fool of myself," he added.

Unlike Jim's mom, my guess is that Plumber Joe's taxes have already been paid by donation. I think Joe's point to the Obama was 'why should the government take away the incentives for those of us that dream'? He's 34 years old or so, his boss likes his work, his boss will consider selling the business to him when he chooses.

Let's count the ways:

1. Make $250k or more, considered rich.
2. If not providing the 'suggested' benefits to employees, dinged more.
3. Given incentives not to provide insurance, but dinged whether you do or don't.

Any questions why these are considered disincentives to 'grow' a business? Trust me, your kids can screw up what you've built on their own, they don't need the government helping them do that.

You knew it would happen. Joe the Plumber's 15 minutes of fame in last night's debate have turned into a round of public humiliation for the wannabe business owner. The Toledo Blade is reporting that Joe has no plumber's license.

To make matters worse, the Blade also found that the Ohio Department of Taxation placed a lien against Joe because $1,183 in personal property taxes had not been paid. To pile on, the paper disclosed, based on divorce records, Joe's 2006 income — $40,000, hardly enough to qualify for the tax hike he's so concerned about.

It is amazing how the Obamabots and liberal media have turned a story about a working stiff getting Obama admit he wants to redistribute wealth into a full scale attack against the working stiff

The story is not about Joe owing $1100 in taxes, but Obama's tax policy

Also it is not surprising the left's automatic reflex to destroy anyone whp disagrees with them

The liberal media has also spent more effort, time, and resources investigating this plumber then they have Obama's ties to racists and terrorists

Forget Joe the Plumber. The real outrage is Melissa. The media aren't reporting it but it happened at a McCain campaign stop in Pennsylvania.

Melissa is a 27-year-old single mother. Her husband was killed in Iraq. One day early last summer she put her three-year-old son in his stroller and walked to the local convenience store for milk. The store is run by a muslim family but Melissa bears them no animosity. She doesn't hold them responsible for her husband, Carl's, death.

As she was walking back home, a black car stopped next to her and two men got out. They told her they were government agents and forced her in to the car. They left the baby and the milk in the stroller and drove off. They told Melissa someone would be along to take care of her son.

The government agents wanted to know why a soldier's widow was dealing with muslims. After three days of harsh questioning, she managed to convince them that she didn't have anything to do with any network of muslim sympathizers in the US. She was just buying milk.

When she returned home, she found a letter telling her one of the residents on the street where she was taken into custody witnessed the event and watched over the baby until the local police took him to foster care. He was all right and after a few hours of paperwork, she got him back.

When McCain came to her hometown, she asked him if and why he supports that kind of activity in the US. McCain said it was a necessary part of the war on terror and he supported the president's efforts to keep America safe.

OK, the story is ficition. Like Joe the plumber's tale, it never happened. It was concocted to make a point. It's valueless and so is Joe's tale. Neither of them reflect real world events.

Lower taxes increase revenues Joe,. It did for JFK, Ronald Reagan, and Pres Bush

Everytime the dividend tax was cut - revenues went up. Everytime it has been raised - revenue went down

Higher taxes reduce economic growth and thus tax revenue

That's utter nonsense. Under very rare circumstances, lower taxes can increase tax revenue slightly. For the most part, though, lower taxes mean lower tax revenue. The Reagan era increase was no better than normal.

Revenue ALWAYS increases because the economy always is growing. You have to prove an extraordinary increase and prove it was caused by the tax cuts.

A bad poster boy for McCain no doubt. Think they would have done some vetting before using him as the star of the debates.

It rules out the plant theory almost tho, even the McCain camp wouldn't use such a character on purpose. He doesn't even have a plumbing license.

He doesn't need one since his business partner has one.

Why is he a "character". The man wasn't at a rally. He was in his front yard when Obama came by and he decided to ask a question.

He, like most people, doesn't make 250 thou a year. So what, nether do I, and I'm against bambams redistribution of wealth also.

What people need to start asking themselves is WHY the media is so intent on tearing down this man for daring to ask a question. His income and taxes are a non-issue. HE ASKED A QUESTION............honestly I bet he wishes he'd just gone inside.

Libs are going after this guy for the same reason they are NOT going after Ayres, Wright, and Rezko - it is called character management

Joe represents a threat to Obama and his liberal dreams of making life "fair" for everyone

This threat must be crushed, and destroyed at all costs. The fact this man asked a simple question, and it was Obama who slipped up and admitted he wants to redistribute wealth - it is Joe who must be wiped off the face of the political Earth

Let's count the ways:

1. Make $250k or more, considered rich.
2. If not providing the 'suggested' benefits to employees, dinged more.
3. Given incentives not to provide insurance, but dinged whether you do or don't.

Any questions why these are considered disincentives to 'grow' a business? Trust me, your kids can screw up what you've built on their own, they don't need the government helping them do that.

Are you seriously telling me that 250 k a year is not rich or at the very least well off?

Employees deserve benefits and companies that don't provide should be dinged.

He wants to buy the business he currently works at. He wants to hire more workers and expand it

Why should he when more of his profit will be taken away from him?

Why should he take a risk and invest when he will get a smaller return on his investment?

Again if you make more you should pay more in taxes, you should move up to a higher tax bracket......................that is the American system as it was set up and it is very fair.

You simply do not want the rich to pay their fair share, you like J.Lib want to put it on the backs of the middle class.

That is right. It is called capitalism and it works for the employee as well as the employer. If the employer is not willing to offer competitive wages and benefits the employees, especially the good ones, go elsewhere and the employer is left doing the work himself, going out of business or hiring incompetent staff.

Here is the way I see it, if we are not going to require employers to provide benefits then we better damn well do something about skyrocketing health care costs, if not then it is perfectly acceptable to require benefits be provided.

Joe and Barack's Tax Problems.

I was stunned to see some document showing Joe the Plumbers' tax problems on my 10pm (CT)newscast on the local NBC affiliate in Chicago on Thursday night. They have very little time for any national news and they actually spent time on Joe the Plumbers' tax problems. Amazing!

But when an actual candidate — Barack Obama — released his tax returns, which on their face seemed to show an ethics violation of Illinois law, the press couldn't care less.

Just to remind you, Illinois prohibits state legislators from taking speaking fees, and Barack reported "speaking fees.":

Apparently, as an Illinois state legislator through 2004, Barack was prohibited from taking honoraria for speaking under the Illinois Governmental Ethics Act.

But what about Barack Obama’s 2000 and 2002 tax returns?

2000: On his 2000 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported that he received $16,500 as a “Foundation director/Educational speaker.”

2001: On his 2001 Schedule C-EZ, Barack reported $98,158 from a Chicago law firm, Miner, Barnhill, for “Legal services/attorney” (and nothing for speaking).

2002: On his 2002 Schedule C, Barack reported $34,491 for “LEGAL SERVCES / SPEAKING FEES.”

These “speaking fees” are in addition to the amounts that Barack was paid as an employee, a lecturer at the University of Chicago, reported on the first page of his 1040s....

I really don't blame Obama for not addressing this; he released his tax returns after all. The problem is the press, which seems to be having more trouble than usual doing its job this season.

As I've said before, the best solution to the problem is integrating the newsrooms politically.

Here is the deal Avi, since Reagan we have had two Repub presidents and control of Congress for much of that time and even though Repub candidates ran on conservative principles once elected they did very little of that and instead governed from left of center. I and many others are sick of being lied to, John McCain is the king of the RINOS, we see no reason whe he should be supported in any, way, shape or form and instead should be defeated so the Repub party can be purged of all moderates and liberals and reshaped.

Its gotten so bad that, well if you aren't an OTR right wing nut like many here you'll acknowledge this, logically thinking one can say that at least economically speaking Obama is the conservative and McCain is the liberal.

Poll: Voters souring on McCain, Obama stays steady
Associated Press
Originally published 06:31 a.m., October 17, 2008

When it comes to the public's image of John McCain, it's as if somebody dialed the electricity down in the past month. For Barack Obama, the juice is still flowing.

People's regard for the Republican presidential nominee has deteriorated across the board since September, an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll showed Friday, with McCain losing ground in how favorably he's seen and in a long list of personal qualities voters seek in White House contenders.

Perceptions of Obama have improved or remained steady. Beyond views of the two rivals' character traits, McCain faces another problem - Obama is more trusted on the economy, the contest's commanding issue, including a 15 percentage-point edge for better grasping how the raging financial crisis is affecting people.

Obama's image has been sturdy even as voters' views of the overall campaign have tumbled since September. The portion of people saying the contest excites them has sunk to 32 percent while those calling it frustrating have grown to 41 percent - and in both cases, six in 10 of those whose feelings have worsened are McCain backers.

Negative campaigning and a month of intense public focus on collapsing global economic and financial markets have not been kind to McCain. The new AP-Yahoo News poll of likely voters, conducted this month by Knowledge Networks, shows more people viewing him favorably than unfavorably by just 5 percentage points, down from a 21-point difference in mid-September.

During the same period, Obama went the other way, increasing a 5 percentage-point net favorable rating to 15 points. Now, Obama is seen favorably by 57 percent and McCain by 52 percent - a close margin that masks the opposite direction the two rivals' ratings are heading.

"He kind of scared me," Leesa Zick, 48, an undecided Republican from Edwardsville, Ill., said of McCain's abrupt and short-lived suspension of his campaign last month during Capitol Hill talks on a financial rescue package. "We need a president who can deal with multiple tasks. It seemed like it overwhelmed him."

For McCain, the poll's good news is that despite a difficult month, his public image is not dramatically worse than Obama's and in several areas remains better. The public still rates him higher than Obama for keeping America safe, working with both political parties and being decisive, experienced and competent.

"He's more qualified than Obama, definitely, because of his experience and history, " said Richard Tosti, 67, a Republican from Rochester, N.Y.

Zick and Tosti are among about 2,000 people the AP-Yahoo News poll has been tracking since November. By repeatedly questioning them, the survey has opened a detailed window on how people have reacted to the campaign's twists and turns.

Less than three weeks from Election Day, Obama has taken a solid lead over McCain in most national and swing-state polls. The AP-Yahoo News survey underscores the morale problem McCain faces.

Obama supporters are more than twice as likely to say they're excited about the race and significantly more likely to say they're interested and hopeful. McCain backers, meanwhile, more often say they feel frustrated and helpless. Underscoring a period that has seen the rival candidates trade personal attacks, about a fifth of those backing each say they're angry.

"There's a lot of mudslinging, which I've never been a fan of," said Eric Juhl, 27, a Republican and McCain backer from Abilene, Kan. "And to me, the media seems pretty left-wing oriented. It's kind of frustrating."

A sour public mood is typical late in presidential campaigns as both sides' attacks accumulate, said University of Wisconsin political scientist and polling authority Charles Franklin. This year's disenchantment is probably magnified by worries about how the candidates would handle the economy, he said.

Even so, Obama has staked out a clear advantage on economic concerns in the AP-Yahoo News poll. The Illinois senator is trusted more than McCain to improve the economy by 54 percent to 44 percent and to handle the financial crisis by 53 percent to 46 percent.

Obama also has a 56 percent to 41 percent advantage for understanding how the financial crisis affects people. Unhappily for McCain, six in 10 voters who may still change their minds, about as many independents and even one in 10 McCain backers prefer Obama on that question.

"To me, his background indicates he'd be a little more sensitive to the middle class" in addressing economic problems, Peggy Chilton, 72, an independent from Los Angeles who hasn't decided on a candidate, said of Obama.

The numbers don't get better for McCain when it comes to personal traits.

Following debates between the two rivals in which the Arizona senator has appeared angry at times, 46 percent consider him hot-tempered, more than triple the 13 percent who say so about Obama.

"He'd be a little nerve-racking to have in the White House, jumping real fast," Darlene Finley, 48, an Obama-leaning independent from Ossineke, Mich., said of McCain. "When you're talking about war, that's something you don't want to do, jumping real fast."

Since September, McCain has lost ground on nearly every quality tested in the poll, including lower scores for being likable, decisive, honest, competent, intelligent and inspiring.

He's also lost ground for understanding ordinary people's problems, caring about "people like you" and improving America's international standing. Growing numbers even see him as supporting big business over the public interest and being influenced by lobbyists - despite repeated vows to do the opposite.

Obama's ratings have stayed level since last month for most qualities tested, though he has shown some improvement in whether he's considered experienced and decisive.

Paralleling McCain's problems are similar ones faced by his running mate, Sarah Palin.

A month ago, more people said the Alaska governor made them more likely to vote for McCain than less likely by 14 percentage points. That gap is now down to 3 points - even as growing numbers say her Democratic counterpart, Joe Biden, makes them more inclined to support Obama.

The AP-Yahoo News poll included 841 likely voters and was conducted from Oct. 3-13. It has an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Included were interviews with 373 people who initially said they were Democrats, 252 Republicans and 214 independents, for whom the margins of sampling error are plus or minus 5.1, 6.2 and 6.7 percentage points, respectively.

In Ohio you can work for a company under that companies license. It's done all the time. Security, real estate, plumbing, construction, general contractors. The company assumes the responsibility for the individual. The company will certify the individual, but the individual does not need to be licensed. The license is just a fee paid yearly to the state allowing them to operate. Anyone can get a license for anything. Being certified in a particular field is another thing altogether.

oca if your wife is a CERTIFIED optometrist, then she is free to work on the side in that field. She currently works under the business license of her employer. She can even get her own business license and hire certified optometrist to work for her if she wishes. She doesn't need to be certified to own the business.

Saying he was soon to be in Obama's raised tax bracket a big one. Obama isn't going to raise his taxes and he isn't about to buy any company. He got in front of the camera trying to make a false point and got burned on it.

He 'got in front of the camera' because The One came up to him. He asked a question and made an observation. Since then the media, on Obama's behalf has been going into this guy's background as they should Obama's. Sam, 'Joe' is not running for anything. He didn't seek THE ONE out, THE ONE came to him.

Have you ever been in need. When your late-term pregnant and just after you can't work. Should their babies starve. I guess the disabled should as well, afte their checks are also a form of welfare.

You've never actually met the people who get welfare have you?

If the chosen one is so kind and compassionate, why doesn't he pay Joe the Plumber's tax lien out of his own pocket, and give a similar amount of money to his brother George who lives in a shack

False statement. Your a flaming liberal. Your as conservative as a code pink liberal in front of a recruitment center.

You want a communist president
A communist congress
A communist supreme court
And a communist press

Then you think you alone are going to rebuild the republican party. I don't think that government you allowed to be elected is going to let you do that. Just as they will not let you do anything they don't approve of first. If you think Bush is bad and McCain will be bad, just wait till the obamanation gets control of things. Do you actually believe there are going to be elections in four years?

um, like to bring a point from the article:


"The taxpayers may not necessarily know about the lien," Kohlstrand said, although they would receive other notices.

In Wurzelbacher's case, the lien indicated that the notice was sent to a previous address in Toledo.

Now, I admit I'm not a total master of the postal service, but wouldn't a previous address be the one he's no longer living at? yeah, hm, I think so, so that would mean he didn't receive the lien.

As to him has his number unlisted, that would prove nothing, as most celebrities unlist their number, you know, cause people like reporters keep trying to call them or their family and friends, like the one in this article.
