Edwards Can Take on the Moguls

Corporations are running America. We know the story – send jobs out of the country while cutting wages and benefits at home. This needs to change.

The presidential campaign is under way. Republicans are owned by corporations so no help there. On the Democratic side, polls indicate that Sen. Hillary Clinton is leading with Barack Obama second and John Edwards a distant third.

What is wrong with this picture?

Clinton was once on the board of directors of Wal-Mart. She receives more health industry money than any other member of Congress. She was a cheerleader for the administration's push for NAFTA that lubricated the job flow out of the country. She is going to say no to corporate dominance? I don't think so.

Obama is a nice, intelligent, well-intended young man who may well become a great president. But he likely will be crushed by the corporate empire.
Wake up, peope. Edwards is the man.
