Reply #20: This is why I'm leaning towards John Edwards

[Connonym]

he may be a wealth fucker in his own right but he didn't start out that way.

From a July 27 speech
Presidential candidate John Edwards wants to cut taxes on poor and middle-class Americans and raise taxes on wealthy people, who he said are not paying their share.

"Make it fair for everybody, so that everybody gets a chance," Edwards said in Des Moines on Thursday. "We need to reform our tax system to reward work instead of just rewarding investment."

The North Carolina Democrat said it's time to "show some backbone" and fight corporations and lobbyists who have twisted the tax system to favor rich people.

"It is rigged. You shouldn't doubt that for a second," he said. "Your democracy, your government is rigged."
