Several years ago, there was an author who wrote a book about millionaires in America; and it was amazing, most of the millionaires built a business, built a farm, and the number one most commonly driven vehicle by millionaires in America was a Ford F-150 truck. They were workers. There was a time in America when we looked around and we saw somebody work 16 hours a day, like my aunt and uncle did, and build together a farm and we were proud of them. Well, my Aunt Lilly died, and the FDIC dumped land out by her place before the land could be sold. So the IRS came in and eventually sold every acre of her land. The family was called in. Let's try to at least buy some of her assets from her home, her little modest home. I bought this music box from Aunt Lilly. It plays ``Amazing Grace.'' But she didn't get amazing grace. Her heirs didn't get amazing grace. They ran into the amazing greed of the United States Congress. Let's take the green-eyed monster and put it where it belongs and begin to feel good for people that have worked for what they own. Mr. McDERMOTT. Madam Speaker, may I inquire if the gentleman from Texas is ready to close.
