“I just cannot get over the shocking news about the IRS. It turns out that the IRS is not as bad as we thought. It is even worse. It turns out that when our friendly IRS agent appears at our door for an audit, he is not thinking about giving us a fair shake. He was not sent off from headquarters with instructions to do justice, no more, no less. No, of the things that is uppermost in his mind, the thing upon which his promotions will depend, is how much money he can extract from the poor taxpayer who is getting audited. God help you if your friendly IRS agent is having a little trouble this month making his quota of fines. If you catch him a little behind in making his revenue quota, if his boss put a little pressure on his agents in the last weekly meeting, you may not want to expect to survive your audit without having to fork over money that you do not even have. Madam Speaker, while the President and his friends at the Treasury Department are defending the evil ways of the IRS, this Congress is going to pass real change and put an end to this absolutely outrageous practice over at the IRS.”
