“yesterday the Associated Press released its results on the latest survey conducted on how much Americans trust their government. Well, not surprisingly, it found that out of every 10 Americans only three or four believe their government will do the right thing most or all the time. Mr. Speaker, more than 60 percent of Americans do not trust their government. This survey also asked people what they felt about various government agencies in Washington that increasingly intrude into their daily lives. Well, not surprisingly, the numbers showed that the IRS has dropped significantly. Of all the government agencies, the IRS has the lowest approval rating of all. Truly shocking? Not really. Now, even though there is a strong message here, I have absolute total confidence that my liberal colleagues and defenders of big government will ignore it. However, the message is clear: The people demand a complete overhaul of the IRS and real reform of our Tax Code and now is the time to act.”
