" I honestly don't know what Edwards was reflecting on when he decided he was going to propose economic policies which appear to address exactly what the problems are with the American economy"

Okay, that's an answer.

I don't agree that his "policies ...appear to address exactly what the problems are with the American economy", but then, I'm not an economist either. Perhaps you are?

I have opinions, but no qualification to demand that my opinion about economic policy be enacted. Thus my question about JRE's qualifications. What makes his opinion any more valid than say.... mine or yours or the guy down the street?

"Rewarding work with wealth rather than wealth with more guaranteed wealth"

Which Democrat doesn't believe this? I suspect even the nastiest RWingers would agree with this platitude.

I doubt he's really calling for 'shifting a lot of wealth away from vested interests and to the people'. That's essentially socialism and no serious candidate would admit it and expect to be elected.
