I think that as we lead up to April 15th, if we had the opportunity over the next few weeks to get on the floor and really expose this GOP 30 percent sales tax and what it would mean for the average working person, we would really drive the point home. And the Republicans on the other side would be very nervous because the truth would come out. One of the things that this whole incident with you, I think, points to is the fact that I think that many of our colleagues on the other side, on the Republican side think that if they keep saying something that is false over and over again and keep repeating it, that somehow the American people are going to believe it. Perhaps we as Democrats have not brought up enough times here on the floor or even out in our districts that, in fact, it has been the Democrats that have taken the lead on tax cuts for the average working person.
