I know I kept him longer than I promised to, but I never get the chance to talk. Madam Speaker, I have appreciated this block of time. I appreciate your patience with us, particularly talking about Arizona, but it is-- you know, we love our State, and we are very, very proud of how far it has come. We are proud of the fact that we are leading much of the Nation in growth--in population growth, economic growth, income growth--and it is, in many ways, our moral goal around here to keep this vitality up for every American. Whether you live in a red State, blue State, whatever you pursue, you should have the ability and the opportunity to pursue that. We want to make the powerful argument that where we have gotten this country to economically right now is pretty darn amazing. Now, can we do even more? Our goal is we are going to even make it better. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________

You have to understand. Okay. You are not going to raise taxes. I despise raising taxes.
