John Edwards says that if he becomes president he will rip even more money out of our wallets. “To do this,” this piece in the Concord Monitor notes, “he’ll have to ask many Americans to make sacrifices, like paying higher taxes.”

Here’s a sacrifice you should be asking people to make- to get a job and keep it, to stop breeding unless you’re prepared to take care of your children, and to be prepared to suffer with the consequences of your mistakes and bad choices. But no, Edwards won’t do that- he’s only interested in stealing money out of the wallets of working people for some sort of liberal utopia fantasy (which is, in reality, a nightmare).

“Yes, sir- you better believe I’ll tax you, too. I’m going to tax everyone and everything in sight. Any other questions?”

Here he goes with his class warfare mantra. “It is central to what I want to do as president to do something about economic inequality. I do not believe it is okay for the United States of America to have 37 million people living in poverty. And I think we need, desperately need, a president who will say that to America and call on Americans to show their character.”

Call on us to show our character? By a socialistic government bent on redistribution of the fruits of one persons labor to another? Thievery is NOT a character trait. If he wants economic equality then he wants communism- pure and simple. There is no other way because some people are either smarter, better looking, or harder working than other people. And besides, I would rather be poor in America than rich in most other places on earth. But to Edwards it’s not about opportunity- it is about enforced “equality.”

Whatever. Edwards is a loon. Sorry, there is no other word for him. Oh, he’s slick- and smart enough to get wealthy as a lawyer. But to me character is working. Character is dealing with your own problems. Character is willingly helping others.

But character doesn’t have anything to do with putting up with government stealing from you.

“At every stop, Edwards said, he tells voters he’ll ask them to sacrifice.” Really? If he’s so interested in sacrificing then let him do it. And if he were only asking that would be okay. But he won’t ask if he becomes president. If Congress goes along with him he will FORCE Americans to sacrifice. Make no mistake- “asking” is a lie. He’ll hike taxes and there is nothing we could do about it.

Edwards is a liberal Democrat and so cannot, under any circumstances, be trusted with power. Indeed, I think he would be even worse than Hillary. And that, obviously, is unspeakably bad…B>
