So here we are again. Because I started just a little while ago, we talked about if you want to kill jobs, first of all tax small businesses, tax them so much they can't run their business, or at least chase people out of them so there goes the jobs. The second thing you do is bury them in redtape. Now we're coming back to what you're saying--the very people we should want to be working and drilling for oil for us, we're going to tax them out of existence. Isn't that ridiculous?
