John McCain destroyed Joe the Plumber's life

John McCain couldn't just leave him well enough alone. No, he just had to pick on Joe Six-pack and ruin his life. That's right, before the debate Joe the Plumber was just your average Joe Scam Artist, but now that McCain has thrust him into the spotlight...he's screwed.

"However, a bit of media digging has uncovered that Mr Wurzelbacher's first name is actually Samuel and he does not have a plumber's licence, although the company he works for does.

According to Tony Herrera, of the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local 50 in Toledo, Ohio, Mr Wurzelbacher cannot practise in Toledo without a licence - although he can work for someone with a master's licence or in outlying areas that do not require a licence.

According to local court records, Mr Wurzelbacher also owes the state of Ohio $1,182.98 in personal income tax.

Mr Wurzelbacher acknowledged he did not have a plumber's licence and admitted in one interview he was "not even close" to earning $250,000."
