On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
I must say the American taxpayers do not have too many powerful lobbyists down here. Most people are afraid of the IRS, and most average Americans are more or less at their mercy. But there is an incident, just occurred here this past month out in the district of the gentlewoman from California, and the IRS basically came to the office of one of the dentists in her community and said they were with the IRS, and they wanted to see the doctor. They were asked if the doctor was expecting them, and they said, 'No, not at all.' Mr. Chairman, in the midst of the day's business, the dentist office's business, the IRS completely disrupted it, had taken that dentist away from where he is doing significant work on the dental needs of one of his patients. The IRS has almost limitless powers. There are very few opportunities for the Congress of the United States to lend a helping hand to these taxpayers.
