On the recordMarch 25, 1998
the countdown is on. The tax clock is ticking. The nightmare of all nightmares to American workers: The tax man is coming. That is right. Just 3 short weeks from today is the American taxpayers' most dreaded day: April 15. This day looms on the calendar each year as an ominous reminder of the crushing burden of the current Federal Tax Code. And while the IRS smiles behind closed doors, American workingmen and women are struggling to keep pace with an out-of-control Federal agency. Over the next 21 days, taxpayers across this country will spend many sleepless nights and work countless hours in an attempt to figure out exactly how much of their hard-earned money must be sent to the government. Heaven forbid the amount is off by a single cent, causing the taxpayer to face the unbridled wrath of the IRS. Mr. Speaker, the time is now to enact comprehensive tax reform. Sweet dreams, Mr. and Mrs. America.
