Folks who are enjoying part of this tax credit today, in 2005 will see that tax cut decrease or eliminated all together. Which, if I understand the definition of a tax increase, that indeed is a tax increase on people earning $11,000 a year or less. So can we at least agree that this is a tax increase on people who earn $11,000 a year, on people who work and earn $11,000 a year or less in this country? I might add, I invite the gentleman to my district, and anyone else who may choose to come, and we can hold a town hall meeting, and I will amass, unfortunately, a decent-sized group who are affected negatively by this. I yield back to my colleague for an answer. I used his time, so I thank him for the time.

What is the problem then if my colleagues believe in removing all these taxes, which I think there is a lot of merit to, I am a big tax cutter like the gentleman is? I support those ideas. How is that consistent with the taking 3 million…
I was the sole person who had to make that decision. But, when you look back at the alternatives that I had, it was the right decision. And I have no question that it was the right thing to do then. And I'm more certain today.
