Kerry Says Bush Ignores Economic Troubles

(Let's throw in the fact that minimum wage hasn't been raised in 7 years and the poverty in this country)


The Democratic presidential challenger said Bush cares most about the wealthy and well-connected, while portraying himself as the patron of working families who are struggling to achieve the American dream.

``I've got your back,'' Kerry said.

``For the last four years, George Bush has turned his back on you and the families with almost every choice that he's made,'' Kerry said. ``For those people who are struggling, four more years of Bush choices is four more years that I don't think people can really afford.''

Kerry campaigned in Florida for a second day since Thursday's debate on foreign policy. While Bush held huge rallies in the Midwest battleground of Ohio, Kerry gave a 45-minute speech outlining his economic agenda. Kerry aides said the speech, along with another on energy he planned to give in the coming days, are designed to set up the issues for the final two upcoming debates -- a town-hall style match Tuesday and another focused on domestic policy the following week.
