Subject: RE: BS: Poverty in the USA
Ahhhhhh, has anyone noticed that John Edwards has staked out his chances of getting the Democratic nomination on America getting back to more than a discussion on poverty but ways to combat it???

He may not win the nomination but, hey, I think I'll send a few bucks to his campaign for having th courage to take on an issue that a lotta people would rather see swept under the carpet...

Yo, Dickey,

I still haven't gotten a response to the "value added tax" on stuff that corporate America produces in swat shops outside of the country... Okay, I'll admit that this is my own idea and their aren't any folks out there offering this as a way of both protecting American jobs and raising $$$ for a war on poverty... That means there aren't any right wing blogs who have put together an attack team... That means, this is like virgin territory with no cahrts, no talking points... Just an idea of mine... I probably will get around to sendin' it to the John Edwards' folks and let them run it up the pole a couple times to get the bugs outta it but until that has been done, I think it might work...

Whaddaythink???
