Edwards Speech Text: 'Two Americas' (class warfare)(Dec 2003)
"Today, under George W. Bush, there are two Americas, not one: One America that does the work, another America that reaps the reward. One America that pays the taxes, another America that gets the tax breaks. One America that will do anything to leave its children a better life, another America that never has to do a thing because its children are already set for life. One America -- middle-class America - whose needs Washington has long forgotten, another America - narrow-interest America - whose every wish is Washington's command. One America that is struggling to get by, another America that can buy anything it wants, even a Congress and a President. "
"One America -- middle-class America - whose needs Washington has long forgotten"
Maybe I've forgotten my history, but didn't the Dems have lock-stock control of the government from 92-94? Both houses and the WH? How is it that utopia didn't come to fruition? How is that America flatly rejected their leadership? How is that in only 4 years we can 'ruin' America...
If GWB and the Republican congress are such a failure:
How is it that first time jobless claims are lower than when Clinton left office?
How is it that this failed leadership has produced an economy with more working Americans than EVER BEFORE?
How is that the mean and median wages are higher than EVER BEFORE?
How is that 2 terrorist regimes have been deposed, and another has capitulated without a shot?
Yes there is much work to be done, but this administration has not failed America. And to say that they have spits in the face of all those who have worked so hard over the last 3 years to rebuild and protect this great nation.
