Well, they may have to pay the tax on the import, but no one knows. If we just throw the tax out and say, well, the tax may apply, even if the tax applies, I say to my good friend from Missouri, the supplier will look at that and say, or the people who order the equipment would say, what's going to be the next shoe to drop? How much more expensive is it going to be? And I've just had it with the increasing cost of American manufacturing, so I'm going to go offshore, and then that's that.
