I think most of us recognize that mandates that will be placed on small business, if that legislation passes, will kill a lot of small businesses. About 95 percent of the jobs in my district are tied to small business, and we feel that, in fact I have had business after business tell me they cannot sustain that kind of cost. Now I know Mrs. Clinton said we cannot afford to be concerned about these under capitalized small businesses. I think that is the way she put it. But we have to recognize that everything from Apple Computer to Coca Cola started in someone's back yard or in their garage and became a small business. That idea was developed. As it proved to be an idea that served people, it grew into a large business, and that is how most large businesses become large, they start as small businesses, are allowed to grow and become successful and then provide more and more jobs and more and more benefits as they are able to do that.
