Why in the world would he make his point in this manner? Is there a problem with a plumber having higher aspirations? Are only the 'average' plumbers worth fighting for? Should 'Joe' be attacked for having those aspirations, even if they are not fully achieved at this point?

I just don't get this at all.

Let's ask you the same question:

"How many plumbers [do] you know that are making $250,000 [per year]?"

To be fair Ill ask myself the same question:

"How many plumbers do you know [period]?" - none, so I guess my answer is none. what's yours?
