As a Democrat and as a former small business owner, I can tell my colleagues, the people that are out there for this kind of reform are begging for this reform. This is a wonderful, very prospective, very proactive kind of legislation that will help many people. I remember many of my colleagues in the small business community talking about the problems they had with the IRS. These are people that are solid citizens, people that are paying their taxes and that, when an IRS agent walks into their office, all of a sudden they become guilty without ever having a chance to prove their innocence. They have to go out there and actually reverse what we have considered for many years the basics of the United States justice system, and that is, you are innocent until proven guilty.
