Thank you.
I'd be really appreciative if those on the call who have access to some of the data would like to show us the perennial capital gains earners. We could then narrow this application to those who abuse the tax system and who transfer or try to claim more capital gains taxes than income tax.
We've heard testimony today, from people who are living it, suggesting that this tax isn't just going to be on the 0.13% top income earners. It's actually going to be on a much broader group of individuals.
With no disrespect to those who are educated, I'm reminded of William F. Buckley, who said that he would rather be governed by the first 2,000 people in the phone book than by the entire faculty of Harvard.
I would paraphrase it to suggest that I would rather be governed by the first 2,000 of Ms. Bruske's members than by some individuals who have not spent time working in the trenches or building a business, who say that, in theory, there are these rich people who abuse the system, without actually listening to those who are living in the system saying, “Well, actually, I'm one of the people affected. I'm not that person you're speaking about.”
I appreciate the time today, and I'll yield the last remaining seconds to the floor, Mr. Chair.
