“I am something unique around here. I actually am a small business person and have run small businesses in the past. I think I have a pretty good understanding of what happens in America. I am kind of shocked to find out that we are going to have to increase the amount of paperwork that small businesses are obligated to do in order to save America as we know it. I did not know that the minority in the administration are predisposed to the idea that all businessmen are criminals, or that we want to destroy the environment or contaminate America's food supply. I always thought the small businessmen in this country were honest, hardworking men; we try to do the best thing, we get up every morning, we make the payroll, we work hard. We do the things that are necessary to keep this country on track. Fifty-three percent of the private workforce in this country are represented by the small business people, or are hired by small business people, not just large companies. It is tough out there. It is tough to meet all the requirements that are put upon us every single day. So not only am I here to support this gentleman in his legislation, but enthusiastically support it.”
