Well, I find that a lot of them want to do it. I think there is a real awareness in America today, that we're going through the best economy we've ever had, and yet, for whatever reason, there are people and places that are left behind. I argue, number one, that it's our obligation to try to help, those of us that have done better; and number two, that it actually makes good economic sense, because one of the big questions on every business person's, every economist's mind, everybody that plays the market is, ``Well, how long can this economic expansion go on? How much more growth do we have? How many more jobs can we create before either it runs out of steam or inflation takes over, and it has to be broken?'' And my argument is that the best opportunity we have to continue this expansion without inflation is to invest in new markets. And the closest new markets are those here at home and the people and places that have been left behind. Mr. Cavuto. Can you guilt them into doing that, though?
