I'm a late boomer like Obama (1 year older)/

During that time -
I've seen manufacturing leave the US
I've seen service jobs leave the US
I've seen professional jobs leave the US
I've seen corporations hire professionals overseas and board them 4/apartment here in the US while Americans in the same occupations can't get jobs because they can't live 4/apartment
I've seen income practically stagnant
I've seen ppl's retirements virtually lost because companies were able to use bankruptcy to get out of prior retirement commitments
my retirement plans have been restructed so that right now I expect to see <40% what I was expecting to receive in 1999
I'm worried about whether 3 children have anything like the opportunies me and my spouse had (and ours weren't great because we were late boomer)

I've seen plenty of bipartisanship when it serves the interest of business or agriculture
I've seen virtually no bipartisanship when it serves the interest of human citizens (esp those that are the least among us - children, elderly, disabled)

Edwards is the only candidate talking about trying to rebalance the scales so that we the people matter.
I'm doing fine (I was doing great while Clinton was in office). But I have three children to worry about.

No issue, absolutely no issue, is as important to me as protecting the future of our children.
For the future of our children, I care about putting people first in politics. If people are the made the most important priority, education, the environment, healthcare, and labor will assume their correct places high in the priorities of the country.
