ballmer from microsoft and he was saying the same things you were saying about the corporate structure. but i think that one of the things that really instruct me as he spoke to us yesterday was he urged us to think not just about a corporate tax rate but a competitive tax system's as the point that all of you have been making today. and of course one of our big concerns is, at least one of mine, is the small businesses and so my question is for mr. hudak. in what challenges does the amount of business income taxed at the individual level present for reforming the tax code in a way that helps american businesses grow and create jobs and compete? >> well, 70% of small businesses are pass-through companies and are taxed at the individual rate. so taxing anything beyond what a business owner is due for his work is really taxing capital formation and is hitting on his ability to invest, create jobs. certainly everybody should be subject to the full force of employment taxes for the value of their work. but beyond that, the cost of -- because of the corporate structure of the small business
