we had a good debat thi week __PUNCT__ and i thought i did pretti well __PUNCT__ but let have some straight talk __PUNCT__ the real winner thi week wa joe the plumber __PUNCT__

joe won __PUNCT__ becaus he the onli person to get a real answer out of senat_obama about hi plan for our countri __PUNCT__

congratul joe __PUNCT__

that is an impress achiev __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ joe didn't ask for senat obama to come to hi hous __PUNCT__ and he didn't ask to be famou __PUNCT__

he certainli didn't ask for the polit attack on him from the obama_campaign __PUNCT__

joe dream is to own a small_busi that will creat_job in hi commun __PUNCT__ and the attack on him ar an attack on small_busi all over the countri that emploi __NUM__ __PUNCT__ of american __PUNCT__

we learn more about senat_obama obama_plan from joe question than we learn in month of speech by senat_obama __PUNCT__

we learn that senat obama econom goal is __PUNCT__ as he told joe __PUNCT__ is to quot __PUNCT__ spread the wealth around __PUNCT__

he believ in redistribut_wealth __PUNCT__ not in polici that grow our economi and creat_job and opportun for all american __PUNCT__

thi explain some big_problem with my oppon claim that he will cut incom_tax for __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__

you might ask __PUNCT__ how do you cut incom tax for __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__ when more than __NUM__ percent pai no incom tax right now __PUNCT__ how do you reduc the number zero __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that the kei to barack_obama whole plan __PUNCT__ sinc you can't reduc tax on those who pai zero __PUNCT__ the govern will write them all check call a tax_credit __PUNCT__

and the treasuri will have to cover those check by tax other peopl __PUNCT__ includ a lot of folk just like joe __PUNCT__

in other word __PUNCT__ barack_obama obama_plan to rais_tax on some in order to give check to other is not a tax_cut __PUNCT__ it just anoth govern giveawai __PUNCT__

the obama tax_increas would come at the worst possibl time for america __PUNCT__ and especi for small_busi like the on joe dream of own __PUNCT__

the small busi senat_obama would tax provid __NUM___million_job in america __PUNCT__

and a sudden tax_hike will kill some of those job at a time when need to be creat more job __PUNCT__

i not go to let that happen __PUNCT__
