STARLA VAUGHNS CHERIN, Florida Courier
- Joe Wurzelbacher, now known nationwide as Joe the Plumber, is an Ohio man thrust into the political spotlight by Sen. John McCain as representing the average American small business owner. Joe said Sen. Barack Obama’s tax plan would prevent him from purchasing a business for $250,000.
Joe isn’t representative of African-American small business owners who say their concerns are meeting payroll and keeping their businesses afloat.
Fort Lauderdale plumber Chicago Jones says the current economic crisis has his daily receipts down to less than $100 a week.
