6. Yes... I tend to agree with you here.
I am not absolutely convinced that he is 100% for the Middle Class yet though. His Health Care Plan is where I have a bit of concern. It still slightly favors the Insurance Industry. I have heard that this is but a good step in the right direction though.

I am not so enlightened on how best to combat the corportocracy. I know that the Insurance Industry is a part of that. I have a hesitation when it comes to members of the "problem" being party to the "solution". Our bottom line is "Democracy", their bottom line is "Profit". I do not see how the "profiteers" will be willing to relinquish any of their power back to We The People. I say again, I do not know how to resolve the problem.

I DO STRONGLY fear that this problem can shortly lead to the end of Democracy as we know it. If they have already gotten their meat-hooks into our Democratic Candidates..... yeah, that sizes up my fears. The corporatocracy is NOT stupid, they know that there is a great chance that a Dem will occupy the White House soon. I have seen little to no indications that they pour their resources into a Republican Candidate at this time.

I said I tend to agree with you...from listening to the speeches of the remaining Democratic Candidates, Edwards appears to me to be the one most in tune with my fears.
