No word yet on if the retainer for his public relations team counts as a tax write-off for his hypothetical plumbing business. But many experts counsel blue-collar stalwarts like Joe to follow an aggressive media strategy with a strong rapid-response component -- especially in case of socialism. What this speaks to, of course, is JTP's authenticity.
