Someone give Edwards a dictionary

Via Daily Kos:

Ex-Sen. John Edwards (D-NC), evolving his pitch ahead of an anticipated presidential run in 2008, will propose to cut poverty by a third in 10 years, eliminate it in 30, and put in its place a “Working Society” where Americans are rewarded for hard work with a livable safety net of health and welfare incentives.

Can someone have Edwards give me a ring and let me know how exactly paying people not to work and penalizing employers for hiring people is going to result in something anyone would call a “Working Society?” This reminds me of when I was up in Berkeley visiting a friend of mine from high school, and we came across graffiti that read, “Capitalism is Not Working.” “Yup, that’s exactly what capitalism is to these people,” my friend remarked. I suppose Edwards’s “Working Society” would work just fine for people who don’t want to work and think those of us who do work should be penalized for it.

Gotta love those catchy two word phrases: “Working Society,” “Great Society,” “New Deal.” At least it’s not a war on something.
