HughHewitt's site features a brief segment of the transcript of the Cheney/Edwards debate. Hugh's purpose is to point out that Edwards' use of Cheney's daughter as campaign fodder preceded Kerry's. But buried in the comments from the contender was this eyebrow-archer:
EDWARDS: Yes. Let me say first, on an issue that the vice president said in his last answer before we got to this question, talking about tax policy, the country needs to know that under what they have put in place and want to put in place, a millionaire sitting by their swimming pool, collecting their statements to see how much money they're making, make their money from dividends, pays a lower tax rate than the men and women who are receiving paychecks for serving on the ground in Iraq.
Edwards certainly knows about millionaires, but has a lot to learn about the military.
Lesson one: As an American GI serving in Iraq my income is tax free.
Lesson two: I haven't seen a paycheck in years, I'm paid via EFT. I think his use of "paycheck" was figure of speech, but note lesson one.
He was right about there being men and women serving in Iraq though, I'll give him that one.
