What's it like to spend one's life telling lies and half truths?
From the Ohio statutes:
"4740.01 Construction industry licensing board definitions.
As used in this chapter:
(A) "License" means a license the Ohio construction industry licensing board issues to an individual as a heating, ventilating, and air conditioning contractor, refrigeration contractor, electrical contractor, plumbing contractor, or hydronics contractor.
(B) "Contractor" means any individual or business entity that satisfies both of the following:
(1) Directs, supervises, or has responsibility for the means, method, and manner of construction, improvement, renovation, repair, or maintenance on a construction project with respect to one or more trades and who offers, identifies, advertises, or otherwise holds out or represents that the individual or business entity is permitted or qualified to perform, direct, supervise, or have responsibility for the means, method, and manner of construction, improvement, renovation, repair, or maintenance with respect to one or more trades on a construction project;
(2) Performs or otherwise supervises or directs tradespersons who perform construction, improvement, renovation, repair, or maintenance on a construction project with respect to the contractor's trades."
So, according to your theory, "Joe the Plumber" was going to buy a plumbing company that included master plumbers and journeyman plumbers who were capable of working on large projects, and then he was going to sit on his ass while they did all the work, because he wasn't allowed on the job sites, because he was unqualified. And he was going to make a decent living this way, except for all that interference by the evil empire.
Have you ever, once, heard of the word "shill?"
