168. Only the richest 0.01% are "evil and corrupt"
At least in a way that requires a 180-degree policy reversal to stop benefiting them and start benefiting us.

Most Americans know this, understand this, and know that Edwards is not calling them "bad guys."

FDR did OK calling out the architects of the Depression for who and what they were, and America is more than ready for someone to call it like it is again. Republicans have duped people for 28 years by saying, "We'll lower taxes on the rich, and that's good for you, because YOU are going to be rich one day, if you work hard, etc." It was and is a LIE and people are starting to figure that out.

The black and white world isn't "internet politics"--it is the "two americas" that John Edwards has been talking about. People know that, are aren't going to be hoodwinked this time by rich assholes who say, "Oooooh! Class warfare! If you succeed they're going to make you the enemy!"
