Let me have just a couple of moments of joy here. A reconciliation budget that only touches individuals and passthrough businesses, so there are no shareholders who are getting-- that is actually already locked in. That is one of the reasons we are doing this is because you want to see distortions in the economy, have a world where small businesses, passthroughs, employee-owned, their taxes shoot up, but the C corporations are down here. What distortion did you just create in the world? I am a C corporation. I am buying everyone else. You want to see the big get bigger? It is one of the reasons you have to do this. Also, I beg my brothers and sisters, have a different view but actually just try to get the most basic facts correct here. Madam Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.
