Joe may be a very good plumber, but I fear he doesn't know NET from GROSS.

If he's about to buy a company that's gonna net him $250,000/year one or more of the following must be true:

A) He's already a millionaire.

B) Joe's first business expense should be a good accountant

C) He's found a loose credit banker somewhere (outer space?) that's gonna back him to the hilt.

D) He's buying the company from his dad.

E) His next big investment will be the bridge I'm gonna sell him today (he only lives about 15 minutes from me).

F) He's been the most frugal guy on the planet, enabling him to salt away mega-thousands/year every year of his adult life.

This is another phony McCain non-issue. The fact that both of these dunderhead candidates know so little about business/finance that they take Joe's phony bluster at face value shows how far removed they are from middle class common sense and reality.

Jazus, it's downright scarifying.

Joe could net 250k, but you make the assumption the profit all goes to Joe. I'm assuming he has a payroll to meet, with all the associated taxes. After subtracting that out (times x number of employees), an Obama tax hike so he "can spread the wealth" makes Joe's business venture absurd. Better Joe apply for a government job than be an entrepreneur.

Net means after expenses.
