I want to turn to Mr. Parlon. He mentioned how the industry is such a broad term to describe so many different entities such as the small builder and big builders. However, one of the proposals and suggestions I saw was that if you wanted to target the industry and get a contribution from them you would target the profits. Obviously that means the profits of the larger sectors in the industry. What would he say to that? I know that is a difficult question for the Construction Industry Federation. It would seem to be a more effective way of getting money from the industry that would not affect the cost of housing for the purchaser.
