I thank the Senator from Florida for those comments, and I want to pick up on one point the Senator just made about class warfare. Certainly, as a job creator myself of 31, 32 years, I know an awful lot about entrepreneurs, and I have to point out how incredibly dispiriting it is to have leaders in Washington attack you day in and day out, demonize you, when all you are trying to do is make a good life for yourself, your family, and provide solid employment for other good Americans. So, again, I need to point out class warfare does not work. It does nothing--it does nothing--to help improve our economy. Senator Lee.
