Edwards promises to raise taxes

Democratic presidential candidate John Edwards promised to raise taxes and provide universal health care if elected to the White House, accusing his rivals of lacking the political “backbone” to voice their convictions.

“Yes, we’ll have to raise taxes,” the former one-term senator from North Carolina and 2004 vice-presidential candidate said during an appearance on NBC’s “Meet the Press” yesterday. “The only way you can pay for a health care plan that costs anywhere from $90 billion to $120 billion is there has to be a revenue source.”

Dear democrat primary voters,

Please nominate John Edwards!

Yours truly,
Republicans
