But the county Wurzelbacher and his employer live in, Lucas County, requires plumbers to have licenses. Neither Wurzelbacher nor his employer are licensed there, said Cheryl Schimming of Lucas County Building Regulations, which handles plumber licenses in parts of the county outside Toledo.

Haha...I was going to post that. Seems Joe the Plumber has a little more to worry about than who's going to raise his taxes...
Also, the scenario of his taxes going up after he buys the plumbing business is pretty much worthless, too. From that same article:
Wurzelbacher, 34, said he doesn't have a good plan put together on how he would buy Newell Plumbing and Heating in nearby Toledo.
He said the business consists of owner Al Newell and him. Wurzelbacher said he's worked there for six years and that the two have talked about his taking it over at some point.
"...the two have talked about his taking it over at some point." Yeah, because things mentioned in casual conversation are solid and concrete.
Fuck, wait a minute. I just noticed this:
Wurzelbacher told Obama that he was preparing to buy the plumbing company, which earns more than $250,000 a year
He said the business consists of owner Al Newell and him.
Two plumbers do over $250,000 a year in sales? I'm a jack-of-all-trades, so I've never hired a plumber, but does that seem like a fuck of a lot of money for a two man operation?
