Kerry and Edwards speak for the rich

How can Kerry keep saying we must stop giving breaks to big corporations? Has he forgotten that is just what he and his wife have always been doing? Does he want to give back all the money he made?

Tell me also, how can Mr. Edwards know what it’s like to be on Medicare when he made $27 million last year?

Neither one has a clue and anyone who believes them does not comprehend.

Two big-money jokes telling lies.
