I just joined because I badly want to get heard on this point: Joe Plumber doesn’t understand NET versus GROSS.

Obama needs to be making this distinction – “Joe, regardless of what your BUSINESS makes, until YOU are taking home 250K, you will not have your taxes increased.”

You are so wrong that this is not an important constituency. There are millions of small business owners across the country that need to hear this distinction and don’t understand it.

I am a small business owner and I can tell you most plumbers (I am a contractor, so close enough) don’t get the tax code -- especially if they’ve been W2 their whole lives.

On Public Radio recently, a small business owner called in to say that his restaurant grossed 300K but little of it made it's way into his paycheck. He assumed that because he was grossing 300K that he was above Senator Obama's 250K cut-off for no tax increases.

The show's host did not correct the misunderstanding and I don't believe he understood correctly either.

None of you seem to understand the distinction, and you’re a smart bunch.

Whether or not Obama understand this or not – he’s certainly not getting the point out to this constituency.
