Karsen, I'm not sure what your game is.
Joe the Plumber's "question" was "why should I pay more taxes when I buy this $250k+ earning business".
Obama answered him.
Just one of many random links:

Obama took him at face value and answered him based on the assumption that the question was valid.
So what more do you want in terms of validating the question of "why should I pay more taxes if my business makes more than $250k?"
But if we're going to be technical (and why not) Joe's question was not valid.
He asked about his intended business making more than 250k. He did not present it as hypothetical, but as his own real life situation.
It wasn't. Not valid.
