Edwards was criticized for paying himself mostly through subchapter S corporate dividends, rather than a salary, to take advantage of a tax-law loophole that allowed him to avoid paying $591,000 in Medicare taxes; Edwards claimed that he chose the subchapter S structure to protect his assets from liability.[3]
Come on, He's a lawyer. Thats what lawyers do, steal for a living. But now he has all he needs. Do you think Presidents pay excites him. He is a successful lawyer that made millions ripping off the insurance companies for hapless victims and now wants to eliminate them completely. On that one issue alone he gets my vote. Insurance companies are the biggest scam in this country, and they own most of the rest of the politicians. Edwards has fought them long and hard and I admire that. The comeback I'll no doubt get from you guys is he costs everyone else more for medical. Thats why we need single payer medical. Eliminate the corrupt corporations, HMOs and Medical INS. Co.s.
