Joe the plumber turns out to be Joe Sixpack. He does not have a plumber license or contractor license does not even have a union or formal training in plumbing. He has tax liens on his modest ranch house. He does not make 1/5 the amount that would require a tax increase.

McCain calls the Keating scandal "my asterisk." Over the years, his opponents have failed to turn it into a period.

It all started in March 1987. Charles H Keating Jr., the flamboyant developer and anti-porn crusader, needed help. The government was poised to seize Lincoln Savings and Loan, a freewheeling subsidiary of Keating's American Continental Corp

Another interesting bit on Joe is that he currently owes and is being pursued by the State of Ohio for $1200 in back taxes!! I suppose he is against taxes on himself.
