Upon further review, the ruling on the field is reversed

It turns out that "Joe the Plumber," who really isn't a licensed plumber after all -- he just works for a plumbing company, would not have to payer higher taxes after all if he purchased the company he worked for. Joe has become the conservative's new poster boy after he confronted Barach Obama last weekend in Holland, Ohio, and got the Democratic Presidential candidate to admit Joe's taxes would increase if he purchased the company, Newell Plumbing and Heating (which has two employees: Joe and its owner Al Newell) and it earned more than $250,000 annually. According to tax analysts "neither (Joe's) personal taxes nor those of the business where he works are likely to rise if Mr. Obama’s tax plan were to go into effect." Of course, now the question is would he pay them regardless. The state of Ohio has filed against a lien against Joe seeking unpaid back taxes.
