Joe the Plumber's plumbing business is back open for business, he reports.
Contra people who crack wise about his trade, Joe Wurzelbacher writes in a post on his site, "I enjoy working – it gives me and most of us that do this kind of work a sense of accomplishment most white collar workers don’t feel often."
In response, he has posted the following rates:
In any event, I live in Ohio, but I will gladly come to your home, where ever that may be and solve your plumbing problem. Think I’m kidding? I am not. Here’s my rates:
- For those of you who share my values and would like me to come to your home make a repair and shoot the shit with you and your friends it’s a thousand a day plus travel.
- For those of you who want to feel superior, you can work me like a dog but you will be paying me like a rock star. Five Thousand a day plus travel.*
*10% of what I make will be donated to our national debt.
