You started off talking about the tax increase. I am the one who had to
explain to you that the law made a variety of changes apart from just the rate
increases that you wanted to talk about. You wanted to attribute all of the
amount to the higher tax rates. That was a couple of months ago. It is good
that you are starting to change your story, even if you aren't willing to do it
openly.
