[Music] John Kerry: Three million jobs lost, that is an astonishing failure.

Male Announcer: John Kerry's got the strength and experience to fight for America's jobs.

John Kerry: We need to be on the side of America's workers.

Announcer: His plan: 

End tax breaks that reward companies for shipping jobs overseas.

New incentives to create and keep good jobs here.

A real plan to get health care costs under control.

John Kerry: George Bush won't do it.  I will.  I'm John Kerry and I approve this message.
