John Edwards is a real man of the people. Yeah, right.

Focus

Keep the faith and hang in there,
We need you, don’t lose sight.
Your support and yes your vote,
Will make this come out right.
It’s early yet but time moves fast,
So please don’t wait too long.
Let’s pull together once again,
To keep our country strong.
Kerry, Clark, or Howard Dean,
Who knows which one will be.
The one the democrats will pick,
To be their nominee.
The lucky winner gets to run,
A race he must not win.
Yes come November Oh Oh Four,
George Bush it is again!

And I wonder by which means he intends to solve the "Two Americas" problem.

Being a Democrat, he probably means foced disarmament of the citizens, followed by shipping us to re-education camps in Alaska.

If he tries that, what he'll GET is armed revolt and rebellion.

The real economic issue for Americans is their future and children's future outlook. Biggest concern is corporate outsourcing and illegal immigration. Both are depressing wages and opportunities. If the Dems leverage this issue they can win 2004 because the GOP is asking the average American to trust free markets managed mainly by corporate America. An entity that is educated in college that the concept of sovereign state is "old fashion" and that the future is globalism and internationalism. US corporations no longer open their meetings with the pledge of allegiance to the flag, the US flag is removed from most meetings because we do not want to offend non US stockholders. Symbolicly this is very important and represents the mindset of our CEO's. If the GOP keeps wedding themselves to corporate America, the Dems will use it to beat us over the head with.

Ah, the old class struggle routine again. It’s worked for Communists and their philosophical descendents, Leftist Democrats (forgive the redundancy), for many years. Still, it’s very thoughtful for Mr. Edwards, whose financial disclosure statements place his assets at as much as $36 million, to care about the rest of us.

Ummm. WHICH redundancy? Communists and Leftists? Communists and Democrats? Or Leftists and Democrats? They're ALL redundant.

Better than three-quarters of poor households have a car and 97 percent own at least one color television. More than half subscribe to cable or satellite TV.

The Left concludes that the poor are poor because the rich are rich, and that there is no possibility that ANY of the above described are where they are by CHOICE.

It also is beyond their understanding that targeting the rich (read entrepreneurs, investors, employers) inescapably has negative repercussions to the poor.

A study released last month by the Washington think tank includes some interesting data from various government reports. Over forty percent of those households defined as poor own their own home. More than three-quarters have air conditioning. The "average" poor American has more living space than the "average" person living in Paris, London or Athens.

Better than three-quarters of poor households have a car and 97 percent own at least one color television. More than half subscribe to cable or satellite TV.

I’m not arguing that being poor is a day at the beach. What I am saying is that a considerable proportion of Americans living in what is defined as poverty has a living standard that would be envied by most of the world.
