Someone Mentioned This Before

Remember back in the day, the early days of the primary season, when John Edwards constantly talked about the existence of 2 Americas.  One was the world of the wealthy and the other was the reality of the working class.  I believe everyone scoffed at him for suggesting this premise.  But right now, he looks like a profit, with the situation that has developed in the last month or so.

Look at the bailout!  Who does it help the most?  Now look at those who oppose it the most.  In case you have missed it, it is two different sectors of the American people.  I believe that we could call it two different classes.  If we do call them two different classes, would that not be the same as saying two different Americas?

Many seem afraid to address this turn.  Why?  To admit it would be admitting that there are inequalities that exist in this country.  Even the Dems who profess to be the voice of the middle class seem to be afraid to admit to the inequalities that exist.  They look for cute little slogans to say something without actually saying it.

Appears that Edwards had it right all along.  The people are starting to see that the two Americas are a fact and they are the pawns being used to sure up the economy and bailout the wealthy.
