Frasi di Joe l'idraulico

Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher soprannominato Joe l'idraulico è un idraulico di Holland .

Il suo personaggio è assurto a una certa notorietà durante le Elezioni presidenziali statunitensi del 2008, come emblema della classe media americana. È divenuto famoso dopo aver incontrato Barack Obama, di cui ha criticato la politica inerente alle piccole imprese, e ha appoggiato nella corsa presidenziale il candidato repubblicano John McCain, poi uscito sconfitto dalla tornata elettorale.

Joe l'idraulico: Frasi in inglese

“I'm getting ready to buy a company that makes 250 to 280 thousand dollars a year. Your new tax plan's going to tax me more, isn't it?”

A question presented to US Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama as he campaigned in Wurzelbacher's neighborhood. (12 October 2008) Obama responded in part:
My attitude is that if the economy’s good for folks from the bottom up, it’s gonna be good for everybody. If you’ve got a plumbing business, you’re gonna be better off [...] if you’ve got a whole bunch of customers who can afford to hire you, and right now everybody’s so pinched that business is bad for everybody and I think when you spread the wealth around, it’s good for everybody. - (Full, unedited video of the conversation between Wurzelbacher and Obama) http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=1a4_1224166209
This response became a major focus of the presidential campaign of John McCain during the third and final presidential debates between him and Obama, on 15 October 2008, and in later campaign ads which compared Obama's comments on his tax plan to an embrace of socialism.

“A vote for Obama is a vote for the death of Isreal.”

Though Wurzelbacher agreed with a statement first made to him by an elderly audience member during a press appearance: "A vote for Obama is a vote for the death to Isreal, I'll guarantee you that.", he did not actually say it himself, but did reply, "You know what? I'll actually go ahead and agree with you on that one." - YouTube video including the statement in Columbus, Ohio (28 October 2008) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71iNvPQXuk0
