Edwards pushes poverty plan amid Iraq policy clashes
John Edwards promotes a "Working Society" linking aid to personal responsibility while challenging Iraq policy debates on Capitol Hill. He envisions ending poverty in 30 years at 15 to 20 billion annually, raises the minimum wage, expands subsidized jobs, and uses tax credits, funded by rolling back tax cuts for the wealthy. He favors immediate withdrawal of 40,000 troops with 100,000 more returning in 12 to 18 months.
