it's started...

John Edwards is on the campaign trail. Already. Wants to end poverty in the next 30 years, raise the minimum wage and create quite a few "stepping-stone" jobs in the next five years, (that would be, during the first term of an Edwards administration).

Nice ideas. Pure fluff.

I want to see a candidate, from any party, who both understands and makes others understand what has driven the economic shift in this country, the polarization and the migration of productivity to points elsewhere, and have one or two ideas to stop it. These might include modifications to the current tax code, (or the repeal of past modifications), and a vision of the federal 'presence' in the next generation.

So far, I have seen, or heard, zip.
