    What "class-warfare rhetoric?" Populism does not equal socialism.

    Agreed. Crime is crime. Accountability is a universal concept, particularly in a "democracy". We should always strive to make the concept a reality.

    If you think there are not vast, wholesale abuses of the welfare system, you are extremely naive...and plenty of people are only too happy to have handout money as their sole source of income. They live quite happily by disdaining such necessities as insurance, car payments and the like. Their only expenses are liquor, drugs and the cell phone bill.

    Edwards' entire schtick is class-warfare rhetoric - rich vs poor, yadayada.

    I didn't say populism = socialism. I inferred populism shares socialistic ideas.

    Is socialistic a word? I've been using it because someone else did, but have no idea...

    Sure there are, I can drive you up to their houses.

    And you are just as naive if you don't think that their are some serious corprate abuses that are just as grevious. Can you spell Enron?
