Joe the Plumber

"Joe the Plumber" challenged Obama on the campaign trail about small business taxes, saying he was thinking about buying a plumbing business that would earn in excess of $250,000 a year and questioning whether Obama would raise his taxes. McCain made Joe a key talking point during the third debate.

Turns out:

1. Joe doesn't have a plumber's license
2. Joe owes $1200 in back taxes
3. Joe doesn't have the money to buy a plumbing business
4. Joe's taxes would go down under an Obama presidency
