I say the Senator from Alabama is exactly correct. It is an unfairness for the small business because the small businessmen are taxed in this fashion. The big corporation--I am all for big corporations, too, but they don't have to worry about this kind of thing. So there is, in effect, a perverse incentive working here, but it is one of the things that is not only bad for the economy but it makes it unfair. It is not really an American way of looking at things, to my way of thinking.
