All those are valid points. But Edwards wants to PUNISH the wealthy in this country for being to wealthy. He wants to tax the shit out of them. He wants a healthcare system that will bankrupt us without a HUGE tax increase. He paints with huge broad strokes about evil corporations as if all corps are killing the population with bad products and working us to death. The days of the 60's and 70's liberal are gone. The majority of working americans want to be rich. They want enough money to pay all their bills, go on vacation, buy new cars and tvs and all the other shit that goes with consumerism and they will not stand for someone trying to take that away from them by over taxing the ONLY people that are going to give them jobs to make that dream possible.
I've not once heard Edwards call rich people, or corporations evil. And I've seen quite a few of his speeches. I suspect that's merely an interpretation on your part, based on your own internal partisan politics.
I have seen Edwards say that wealthy special interests wield too much influnce over public policy in this country. And that working americans and the national welfare, is not sufficiently considered.
And I've seen him say that corporations will always have their interests adequatly represented in washington. They don't need a president to represent them.
And you know what? He's right. Corporations have always flourished and prospered in the country under both liberal and conservative leadership. Rich people have always done fabulous, regardless of who's been Prez. You really should stop worring about them.
