Scott Perry said "I have lived in Florida and Georgia--they are wonderful States--and traveled through all the rest. I have an awesome mother who helped me in that business and was a part of it. I don't know my father. That is American ingenuity. That is striving even against all odds, like the government, your taxes, your insurance, your payroll, your receivables. We have done it, and we did it without the help of the Federal Government. Many people want to do it. Some people get help from the Federal Government. It is unfair to those who do not. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption, and I yield back the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
