[Music] Elizabeth Hendrix: My husband died of cancer a few years ago.  I'm working full time, raising 4 boys, and earn $28,000. 

I think it makes sense to roll back the tax cuts on the wealthiest people in this country.  But some candidates want to raise taxes on the middle class. 

We can't be taxed any more.  John Kerry's not going to raise taxes on the middle class. 

John Kerry: I don't think we should be asking the middle class to be the people who are going to pick up for George Bush's mistakes. 

Elizabeth Hendrix: John Kerry understands what's going on in my life. 

John Kerry: I'm John Kerry and I approved this message.
