And I would add one point on that. We have 10 times that number of folks in my district in Kentucky. I think there is a bit of a double standard on Samoa, too. Though they would be given the vote on the ability to raise taxes, they were denied the fairness on the minimum wage that the Speaker had programmed in for a large company in her district to ensure there would be a double standard. I think one of the things that is important to understand from somebody who worked in manufacturing after my military life is, and I have talked to many workers in the energy industry in my own district, they are dismayed, regardless of their party, be they Republican, Democrat, union, nonunion, to find out that this legislation that the Democrats passed last week, I would say forced through without regular order and debate, without discussing the impact on working families, to find that the energy industry is not manufacturing.
