Samuel Joseph "Joe The Plumber" Wurzelbacher gained fame for questioning President Barack Obama about his economic policies when he was still a presidential hopeful. President Obama made it into office, but Joe has continued to be a critic from his Lucas County home. In fact, even though his fame has died down since the election, Joe's still made a career out of traveling across the country to speak on conservative issues. But Wurzelbacher said while these appearances help to sustain his income, he's actually making less than he did as a plumber. He continues his current line of work because he's fighting for what he believes in. Joe's also encouraging others to do the same. "Either they're going to do it and we'll see some real change from the American people, implementing it, or they'll become complacent again. I'll go away and go back to work doing something I enjoy, like plumbing or building houses."  « Less
