When “Joe the Plumber” hits the big time he thinks Herman Cain’s 9-9-9 plan might keep his tax rate down.

Joe, aka Joe Wurzelbacher, spoke at a CPAC event where he was endorsed by the New Generation PAC.

“Is it going to be a flat tax? Is it going to be a fair tax? Is it going to be Herman Cain’s bold new 9-9-9 plan? I tell you what, all three of them are a great idea, let’s get the legislation up there, let’s get the change so we can get businesses back in this country and people back to work, that’s how we do it,” Wurzelbacher said.

“I am middle class, I do not have to protect the rich, I want to be rich one day. I’m as blue collar as they come,” Wurzelbacher said.
