I could not agree more with any concept that envisions simplicity, equity. I think a lot of taxpayers today think somebody else is getting a better deal, and there is a lot of cynicism as a result. But with a proposal such as you are talking about, everybody knows what the rules of the road are. I think in addition to the many accomplishments that you are suggesting your proposal would achieve would be a confidence among the American people and a reduction in cynicism about somebody getting a benefit that somebody else does not, and that sort of thing. So I commend the Senator for his work.
