first, i would like to thank the director forxd selecting directr kobayashi. we must realize that today is the establishment is the new george 3. your tactics are deplorable. there are so basic to methods that the public cannot approve, if they know them, that you really ought to change what you are doing. the town hall meetings are an absolute sham. they have never met through any number of town hall meetings that terminate in one week, they all be reversed -- get reversed, at your direction. the tax advisory council has now told you in a structural way that they can no longer go along with a sham. there is not political representation here. we do not have the most basic american freedom. this is really as profound as taxation without representation. you are taking our livelihoods and restructuring the entire way our world works without our representation and you are doing it as a sham. what you're doing is a complete sham. [tone] please, get straight. >> the next speaker, please. >> ron walther. >> good afternoon. >> my name is ron walther. i am a taxi drive
