Who is Joe Sixpack?

I don't get it.

Does he drink an average of a six pack a day?

or

Is he walking around with six pack abs?

Either way, why is he of national importance?

How does this get a candidate elected to run our country, handle our debt, manage our foreign relations?

Yeah yeah. I realize it's a euphemism for "Average Joe", but does Joe realize this?

And yes I know the average household income for this country is that of Average Joe, but really how complicated can the issues of Average Joe be over that of the financial crisis or energy independence?

Not to slight Mr. Joe, but why doesn't he just go to work, come home like the rest of us, and leave the administration of this country to those more capable.

With the basic necessities provided by this country, clean water, social security, infrastructure, etc. you're way beyond the means of the rest of the world. Count yourselves fn lucky and shut up.
