But it seems to be part of a pattern, what we have seen for the last 4 years, of the majority here in the House dividing America, playing class envy, trying to just really take--it is not Robin Hood, because Robin Hood took money back from people that stole it to give it back to the people who had actually generated the money. So I know there are some friends on the other side of the aisle who think that they are being a bit of Robin Hood, but they need to understand Robin Hood better. He didn't take from people who earned the money; he took from people who basically stole it and gave it back to people that generated it. And yet that is the kind of stuff we see going on. There is so much fraud in Medicare and there is so much fraud, waste, and abuse in the government itself. And yet still we hear this class envy being trumpeted.
