“when was the last time that the American people saw such a spectacle as last week, when the Senate Finance Committee conducted hearings on the IRS abuses? Listen to some of the shocking things that we heard. IRS agent Jennifer Long, a 15-year veteran with the agency, actually told the Senators that the management of IRS systematically concluded that Americans who reported less than $20,000 in income a year were tax cheats because nobody can live on that income. Well, I have got some people back home who would totally disagree with that, especially seniors who live on fixed incomes every day, and they get by on a lot less than that. IRS agents are not told to go out and be just, to be fair, to use good judgment to enforce their laws. No; they are told to go out and raise as much money as possible. If they do not shake down enough money, their careers could be in jeopardy. And now the White House is asking the very same agency that is out of control to reform itself. Maybe this is the most amazing spectacle of all.”
