So as of today, can you tell us why they didn't realize there was a problem with their methodology, and correct it?

The IRS should never be used for any activities that come close to partisan or political action, period.

Now, since the Citizens United decision, which I strongly oppose, removed limits on independent political donations by corporations and other groups in Federal elections...

I am furious that the IRS engaged in ideological scrutiny which is absolutely unacceptable.

The tax reform should result in a world where people can do their own taxes, where they do not need accountants and lawyers.

We have a responsibility to the American people to make sure this is rectified and does not happen again.

I am very concerned about efforts to eliminate or substantially limit the state and local tax deduction.

I will repeat your statement over and over again, so hopefully, we can adjust that because it is a real concern to many of us.

this rate, which amounts to just over 2 percent, does not match the need I am seeing on the ground.

I appreciate that information. And I think it is so very vital, because many of our businesses are making a decision now, should they lift, should they rebuild, or should they relocate?

Frankly, I was very surprised when I saw that cut.

I really do want to thank you for your service to your country, to the State of Colorado.
