If I may, I will make one point. I know my friend from Kansas also wants to join in. This could only hurt job creation among small businesspeople and small farmers. I can't imagine why they want to do this. We have had 42 months of unemployment at over 8 percent, the longest period in peacetime and modern history. To put this tax on farms that create jobs and small businesses that create jobs, which is where most of our new jobs come from, is just unthinkable. I cannot imagine that it would do anything, if it were signed into law as the President wants to do, other than make that 8.2 percent unemployment rate go even higher.
