Again I would just like to add, as I close, that this is a time--and I agree with the gentleman in one sense. This is a time for us to be talking here about things like jobs and a struggling, sluggish economy. Because of that, the hardworking people in my district, the last thing they expect to see, the last thing they want to see--and Americans did resoundingly cry out in 2011 to not send another tax their way. This is a tax. When the Federal Government says to Americans you must pay ``X,'' that's a tax. In my district, it's hardworking Hoosiers that have resoundingly said, No more taxes from this government. They are taxed enough, and they don't want to be taxed at the Christmas season. I again urge my colleagues to stand in support of this amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
