And the beautiful thing about it is, and maybe I misstated when I said that we haven't voted for a minimum wage increase, we haven't voted for a stand-alone minimum wage increase. You know how they did that? What they did is, Okay, working folk, we are going to take care of you. We will say we will give you a minimum wage increase, but it will be included in a package where we give the top 1 percent, a few families, $1 trillion in tax cuts. Outrageous. It doesn't make any sense. And know when the Democratic leadership takes over, we are going to take care of the working people, and they won't have to worry about anything else. They want to couch us as being tax-and-spend Democrats and not concerned about security, but we are going to take care of the working people, and they will know that we will be there for them. Gentlemen, thank you very much. On that, I am going to see you later.
