Joe "the Plumber" Wurtzelbacher appeared on Hannity and Colmes where he attacked Barack Obama for socialism, but then defended his own enrollment in welfare, a socialistic program.

Joe the Plumber: Was it patriotic for Joe Biden to say "take my money and give it to other people? That's patriotism?

Alan Colmes: Well, let me ask, you were on welfare once, was that taking somebodies else's money and giving it to you?

Joe the Plumber: Paid into welfare. It something to be used, not to be abused like it often is.

Oh, so welfare is OK for Joe, but not for anyone else?  Social programs are OK when they benefit Joe but not others?  BTW, I'm 57 and have worked all of my adult life and have never been on welfare, but I do expect to collect Social Security when I retire.
