Taking Your Eye Off the Joe

I have seen numerous articles today about "Joe the Plumber." For examples, see here and here and here. By my count, there are approximately 2,500 stories out there about "Joe the Plumber." But I think all these stories miss the most relevant and important point in the exchange between Sen. Obama and "Joe." Sen. Obama stated, "I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody." That is the point. That is the difference between Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain. If you want Sen. Obama to spread the "wealth" around, then vote for him. If not, then vote for Sen. McCain. See how easy this election stuff is? All you need are the real facts. David Strom does a great job of explaining why "spreading the wealth around" DOES NOT WORK.
