it great to be here in missouri __PUNCT__

we need to win missouri on __DATE__ __PUNCT__ and with your help __PUNCT__ we go to win missouri __PUNCT__ and bring real chang to washington __PUNCT__ dc __PUNCT__

we get close to elect_dai __PUNCT__ and last week it almost seem like there were three candid in thi race __PUNCT__ senat_obama __PUNCT__ me and joe the plumber __PUNCT__

joe can actual claim an achiev that few can top __PUNCT__ he the onli person to get a real answer out of senat obama about hi plan for our countri __PUNCT__

now __PUNCT__ joe didn't ask for senat obama to come to hi hous __PUNCT__ and he didn't ask to be famou __PUNCT__

he certainli didn't ask for the polit attack on him from the obama_campaign __PUNCT__

joe dream is to own a small_busi that will creat_job __PUNCT__ and the attack on him ar an attack on small_busi all over the countri __PUNCT__

whether it joe the plumber or ed the dairyman __PUNCT__ small busi emploi __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__

we need to support small busi __PUNCT__ not tax them __PUNCT__

after month of campaign_trail eloqu __PUNCT__ we final learn what senat_obama econom goal is __PUNCT__

as he told joe __PUNCT__ he want to quot __PUNCT__ spread the wealth around __PUNCT__

he believ in redistribut_wealth __PUNCT__ not in polici that grow our economi and creat_job and opportun for all american __PUNCT__

senat_obama is more interest in control who get your piec of the pie than he is in grow the pie __PUNCT__

thi explain some big_problem with my oppon claim that he will cut incom_tax for __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__

you might ask __PUNCT__ how do you cut incom tax for __NUM__ percent of american __PUNCT__ when more than __NUM__ percent pai no incom tax right now __PUNCT__ how do you reduc the number zero __PUNCT__ well __PUNCT__ that the kei to barack_obama whole plan __PUNCT__ sinc you can't reduc incom_tax on those who pai zero __PUNCT__ the govern will write them all check call a tax_credit __PUNCT__

and the treasuri will have to cover those check by tax other peopl __PUNCT__ includ a lot of folk just like joe __PUNCT__

in other word __PUNCT__ barack_obama obama_plan to rais_tax on some in order to give check to other is not a tax_cut __PUNCT__ it just anoth govern giveawai __PUNCT__

the obama tax_increas would come at the worst possibl time for america __PUNCT__ and especi for small_busi like the on joe dream of own __PUNCT__

the small busi senat_obama would tax provid __NUM___million_job in america __PUNCT__

and a sudden tax_hike for those busi will kill job at a time when need to be creat more job __PUNCT__

i not go to let that happen __PUNCT__

america ha an altern to the phoni tax_cut my oppon start_talk about onli month_ago __PUNCT__
