“Our goal is to ensure that the Treasury Department's Internal Revenue Service does not usurp the power to tax--a power solely vested in Congress by the U.S. Constitution. "The Stealth Tax Prevention Act" will ensure that the duly elected representatives of the people, who are accountable to the electorate for our actions, will have discretion to exercise the power to tax. This legislation is intended to curb the ability of the Treasury Department to bypass Congress by proposing a tax increase without the authorization or consent of Congress.”
