Political Quotes

“I will clarify what exactly this bill is doing. Last year, Congress gave an additional $80 billion to the IRS on top of $12 billion of existing funding, which increased the IRS' budget by almost eight times. This bill still keeps almost $10 billion in additional funding to modernize IRS, which is still almost doubling their $12 billion budget but eliminates over $70 billion of wasteful and egregious aggression against the American taxpayer by the Federal Government. As someone who spent over a decade in public accounting and also started my own businesses, I never felt that we didn't have enough government. On the contrary. I hear the same message when I go all across my district--small businesses and entrepreneurs have a hard time surviving. I hope my Democrat colleagues will also support this commonsense adjustment to relieve the undue burden on American families.”
