Mr. Chairman, I yield myself 30 seconds to answer the ranking member's question. We are here because we care about the plight of the working poor. We care about the fact that middle-income families are falling behind. The other side of the aisle has had 8 years of their economics, and we don't have a healthy economy. So we are growing the economy through this bill, and that is why it is so vitally important. I must say, Mr. Chairman, I think it is the first time since coming here as a Member of Congress that I have heard a Hollywood film cited as an authority. If I recall the film, the guy went to jail, as he well should have. I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Emmer), the author of H.R. 4850, the Micro Offering Safe Harbor Act which would give our very small businesses and startups more flexibility to raise funds and create jobs for a better economy.
