First I want to express my personal appreciation to Senator Kyl for his leadership on this issue since I have been in the Senate. There is no one here who understands it more than he, or has fought more effectively to see it become more a reality, the elimination of the tax. But, I say to Senator Kyl, what I was thinking about was the circumstance of a small business seeing a death on the horizon and a death tax coming up. The fact that they know they have to make a payment of significance to Uncle Sam--would that not perhaps cause them to hesitate to invest in new equipment, to modernize or expand their business, knowing that that might cause them to use up their cash or even borrow money, and in fact make the economy less vibrant than it otherwise would be?
