Absolutely. Mr. McCarthy. I asked this morning in my morning show--I mentioned, of course, that I would be talking to you. And I said, ``Give me some questions that you'd like me to ask the President.'' And I heard from several small business people. They said something like this: ``Look, I wanted to open two new businesses this year''--this was a fellow who was in the fast-food franchise business, but he said, ``With all that's going on relative to the proposed new legislation on taxes, I'm afraid to build any more restaurants.'' Small businesses are getting hurt. I heard that over and over this morning.
