We also could, I am sure, include in there that they are doing this at their own risk. They are putting their own money right at risk. They think of that as a business. They think of that as an opportunity to go out. And it is incredible that the IRS would not even recognize this; that they would put that at risk. Which goes back to the point that the gentleman from Montana was speaking about, this safe harbor, that is so important for people who are attempting to not only follow the law without being a tax expert, to follow the law and file complete and accurate tax records, but also to run their business. It is this huge burden that is not only on these types of people but I think upon all Americans to know and understand this magnificent document that is known as the Tax Code, but that yet is a burden to each one of us as Americans.
