What about eliminating the federal income tax on Social Security benefits and how would the loss of revenue be made up if that were the case? Well, I'm always going to be in favor of lowering taxes. I think the money really is in the people's hands and it should be. And I think any opportunity we have to lower the tax burden on the people here in District 8, I'm going to be in favor of, you know, situations like that. (12:22–12:26)
