It is noteworthy that we, as a nation, have slowly separated ourselves from our religious roots (the founding fathers having thought that religion was the repository of our moral reserve), and yet we make statements like Edward's to try and engender sympathy or agreement with their causes.<BR/><BR/>Edwards is a member of a group of people who get lots of visibility and seemingly have lots of influence on our society (litigation attorneys).<BR/><BR/>He stands up for the little guy against the big money guys (and takes a hefty fee for doing so....thus becoming rather rich himself....and becoming a big money guy...all the while bragging about how he stands up to them....I am laughing at the irony).<BR/><BR/>But we create these kinds of creatures by allowing our system to do what it does.<BR/><BR/>There is no getting around the fact that lawyers play up income redistribution and siphon off a lot of that income themselves.<BR/><BR/>I work for a large company, but am no fan of them. I don't like the way they concentrate weath. But we are the ones who make them wealthy by allowing them to operate in a free market and by supporting them with our purchases.<BR/><BR/>Lit. Attorneys glut themselves on the mistakes of these companies and do it in the name of the little guy.<BR/><BR/>I have many friends who are attorneys who make a modest living (these are not lit. people). I have a lot of respect for most of them.<BR/><BR/>But I got past the blood pressure increases a while ago....so don't let it wear you down.<BR/><BR/>SLWFederalisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11218493338089982185noreply@blogger.com
