It isn't against the law, but the fact remains he found a tax loophole to keep the money for himself and not for his "Second Americans".

They noted that Edwards lived in a house valued, with land, at almost $1 million and had driven expensive foreign cars for years prior to buying a Buick for the campaign. They complained about a 1995 accounting change in which Edwards incorporated his law practice, thereby avoiding several hundred thousand dollars in Medicare taxes. (A half-dozen CPAs questioned recently about the switch said it was not unusual for doctors and lawyers to incorporate their work and did not appear to violate the law.)

There is more documentation of this, and again, it isn't illegal. But it sure would make me think twice if I was a SecondAmerican.

Edwards is probably a member of the ABA. The ABA sposors the model law project. They publish a Model Divorce Law project which is contains proposed laws involving homosexual couple marriages. It also proposes allowing standing for visitation and custody of homosexual sex partners over non-custodial mothers and fathers. This was used by the Mass Chief Judge in formulating her opinion legalize homosexual marriage in Mass.

It would not be difficult to demonize the ABA just as the ACLU was demonized for Dukakis. Not every lawyer is or even cares about membership in the voluntary and faaaar left ABA.

The attack is all the affiliations Edward would have to have maintained in order to be refered such medical malpractice cases.

On a lighter note, if you keep using that "Second American" phrase, they're going to start believing it exists! ;)
