Yahoo! News - Kerry Heads to Michigan for Speech on Jobs, Taxes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry heads to the battleground state of Michigan on Friday to propose a broad change in international tax laws designed to discourage companies from shifting jobs to foreign countries.

"Today we have a tax code that does more to reward companies for moving overseas than it does to reward them for creating jobs here in America," Kerry said in remarks prepared for delivery at Wayne State University.

Michigan, a key battleground in Kerry's November showdown with President Bush, has been hit hard by manufacturing job losses and the movement of jobs to foreign countries. In the 2000 election, Democrat Al Gore won the state by 5 percentage points over Bush.

This should play well here. Keep coming back John.
