This fellow represents very well the average Republican voter in the red states. The average plumber nets $45k. The likelihood of guys like Joe EVER netting a taxable wage of $250,000 is astronomically slim. Even taking any future hyper-inflation into account.
Guys like Joe are sold on the Rush Limbaugh story of rags to riches. They believe the trickle down theory so much that they will continue to vote for regressive tax systems in that oh so slim chance they might someday hit the lottery.
Meanwhile the folks with serious wealth (those controlling hundreds of millions / billions) are making out like bandits under our current tax system.
Oh so manipulated Joe.
