33. I don't think Hillary would have been any better
I did not see a lot of concern for poor people in her campaign, and I remember all too well how often Bill Clinton betrayed the left as well.

Remember, remember the tax cuts of 1997. In 1995, the tax rate om the richest 400 people (the Fab 400) in America was 29.93% by 1998 it had fallen to 22.02% saving those ultra-rich people an average of $8.74 million.

I still like Edwards, and in fact did vote for him in the caucus, in a symbolic vote, but if the affair had come out during the campaign it would have killed us.
