I would also strongly believe that putting in place systems makes a lot of sense.

I think it's nuts to somehow think that getting rid of auditors is going to save us money.

We ought to have more people doing audits, and that's going to generate more money for the Federal Government.

If this isn't evidence of an overwhelmingly progressive federal tax system currently in place, I don't know what would be.

The IRS doesn't deserve the presumption it's going to do the right thing all the time.

It's a disingenuous claim that's used as justification for pursuing historic expansion of federal spending.

I agree with much of what Senator Van Hollen has just described.

My Democrat colleagues don't seem to care about the cost to small business. They're bewitched by the idea that the law created a magic money machine that will only extract dollars from the wealthy and large corporations, but their claims…

There's a quote I love, by I think it's H.L. Mencken, who said 'for every complex problem there's an answer that's simple, clear, and wrong.'

Instead of throwing billions of dollars at the IRS enforcement, our constituents would much better be served by a customer service focus.

It's a Democrat, excuse me demagogue approach, which is I think designed to say hey, we want to get people to vote for us because we're going to promise them they can cheat in their taxes because there won't be any audits.
