The Common Man

There is a problem when politicians have to whip out “Joe the plumber” or say they are just like the common man. That would indicate that we thought they had more value than us to begin with. Is a politician a greater person than an employee at McDonalds? No matter vocation, all are equal and all have limits. I know it is part of the campaign plan, but to have to tell a body of persons that you are on their level is unnecessary.
