So why doesn't Edwards give up 80% of his wealth?

"Edwards: Janitors continue rights push

By MARCUS WOHLSEN, Associated Press Writer Sun Mar 4, 9:52 PM ET

BERKELEY, Calif. - Democratic presidential contender
John Edwards on Sunday called a janitors' campaign for better wages at the University of California, Berkeley, a continuation of the civil rights struggle that began in the 1960s.

Edwards sounded the civil rights theme to commemorate the 42nd anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" clash between black voting rights marchers and police in Selma, Ala.

"This march for economic and social justice for the men and women who work at this university is a part of a bigger march in America for fairness and equality," Edwards said during a stop on his current tour of college campuses."

Because he prefers to remain a hypocrite?

"If the janitors' wages increase, they cost will just be passed on to the students' tuition costs"

Yup and all the poor working stiffs in the middle class once again get stiffed.

None of these rich Democrats: Edwards, Kennedy, Pelosi, Gore, Kerry, want to give up their wealth. They want you to! They will tax you to death, and then tax you some more after your death.

He wouldn't be able to afford his 22 million dollar mansion if he gave up that much wealth. Then he wouldn't have a place to get away from the "other America."

If the janitors' wages increase, they cost will just be passed on to the students' tuition costs.

How bitchy is this? these are they people you conservatives idolize? This is from that same article

"At the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday in Washington, Coulter said: "I was going to have a few comments on the other Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards, but it turns out you have to go into rehab if you use the word '******,' so I 鈥?so kind of an impasse, can't really talk about Edwards."

Do you call for Cheney to give up 80% of his wealth also??

NO!!

Why should Edwards have to give up what he worked for???

Isn't success in America meant for everyone?

Thats odd, you want someone who came from a poor family, worked his way thru law school and became his own man to give all that up??? I don't understand,, this is the land of opportunity and he made his own. Why don't Cheney and Bush who are even worth more, give up all they have???

I must have missed the part where Senators and congressmen exclude themselves from taxes.
Is a janitor getting a little more money for some backbreaking work, not worth a living wage? We should tell him to not have health insurance so when they or their families get hurt or ill we can turn them away and let them become a leech on the American dream that the Enron executives lived?
It won't hurt to share the wealth a bit, not eighty percent, but a more realistic balance between the $212 million dollar parachutes and a rise in the minimum wage isn't out of line, nor will it cause one missed golf game among the corner office bunch.
There is nothing hypocritical about having and sharing, remember compassionate conservative?
You couldn't be more wrong about me, I'm a housewife married to a truck driver and my kids worked their way through college, something neither my husband who is a vet, or myself, ever got a chance to do.

Answer to your question: Because he doesn't have to.

Now for the critical comment: Why don't you quit wasting peoples time with stupid right-wing biased circle jerk questions. If you need a pacifier, go to Wal-Marts and get one.

You hope to influence some gullible voter with your rant? Don't hold your breath. You can fool some of the people some of the time, but not all of the people all of the time. Now go away and let the thinking be done by the grown-ups. 2008 is not far off.
