“Charles Rettig, the former IRS Commissioner, who was appointed by the Trump administration, said early last year that the United States is losing $1 trillion in unpaid taxes every year. He said the agency lacks the resources to catch tax cheats. Most of the unpaid taxes, he said, are a result of evasion by wealthy and large corporations. With this legislation we are considering today, it is clear that the GOP once again is putting tax-evading profits over people. Mr. Speaker, I am asking my colleagues to join me in rejecting this legislation to protect working families that play by the rules and fight fairly every day.”
