I thank the gentleman for making the FairTax number one out of the gate. I know he leads a passionate constituency. I listened to you talk about what the FairTax would do, and I am thinking that is almost unbelievable that there is that much out there on the table we could seize for the American economy and American families that we haven't done. {time} 1730 I am reminded that America is the only country in the OECD, the only economically developed First World country that does not have a consumption tax today. Folks around America are accustomed to all of the downsides of our current system that you went through. There is a better way and the rest of the world has found it and we are lagging behind. I appreciate the gentleman's leadership to help get us there.
