On the recordMarch 4, 1998
In my opinion, it would be irresponsible for Congress not to overhaul this Tax Code. It would be irresponsible for this Congress to allow such an inequitable, punitive Tax Code to continue to stifle the economic growth in this country. Mr. President, I feel it is irresponsible for you and your administration to blatantly stump for the status quo when the status quo represents a tax collection agency that is abusive to innocent working men and women, intrusive into the lives of each and every taxpayer, and callous to every American citizen. Although it is not clear at this point which type of alternative tax system would be best for this country, what is clear, however, is that the current tax system is broken and must undergo a complete overhaul. Mr. President, the only irresponsible action is your support for an unconscionable, unfair and defective tax system.
