Well, Mr. Herger, thank you for that. Let me just bore you on something. What you said was that under the Democrat proposal, all of President Bush's tax relief is set to expire, so an average family in Texas, for example, we had the expert run the numbers up here, our average Texas family would face an annual tax increase of about $2,800 a year, $2,800 a year. And I know that doesn't sound like a lot of money here in Washington, but back home, that is an awful lot of money to a family. Will families in California and other parts of the country face that same type of tax increase?
