Breck Girl Wants Your Wallet

John Edwards apparently thinks gouging "the rich" is a winning formula. He should be reminded of the huge backlash against Democrats after Clinton foisted the largest tax increase ever upon Americans back in 1993.

Then again, don't remind him. Let the Democrats run on increasing taxes and wait for the landslide loss.

Democratic presidential hopeful John Edwards said yesterday raising taxes for higher-income families back to their levels under the Clinton administration is a floor, not a ceiling, and he would consider even higher tax increases.

"What I believe is the starting place is to go back to the Clinton levels," Mr. Edwards told reporters after addressing the 2,000 delegates to California's state Democratic Party convention.
