Thanks so very much for joining us tonight, and for really shedding the truth on issues as they relate to taxes. You are so right about the spending. That is what we have seen in this Congress, Mr. Speaker, is bill after bill after bill with more spending and more spending and more spending. And it will drive, it has to drive, increased taxes. So what we have seen is a proposal from not just a back-bencher, not just somebody who took some wild hair and decided that they were going to propose a tax increase; the proposal comes from the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, the tax writing committee. And in fact the Speaker in her first comments about it said she supported it. Mr. Speaker, on Halloween, you talk about something that is frightening. As my friend from California said, that is frightening, to have the Speaker and the chairman of the Ways and Means Committee supporting a $3.5 trillion tax increase, the largest tax increase in the history of our Nation, on individuals.
