On the recordMarch 19, 1998
IRS reform has taken on a whole new spin. The Vice President now wants the IRS to undergo sensitivity training, and the other body wants the taxpayers to pay for it. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. Who is kidding whom? There can be no reform of the IRS without changing the burden of proof and without requiring the IRS to get a warrant before they rip off our homes. Let us tell it like it is. The IRS does not need more fine tuning. The IRS needs an overhaul, big-time, and taxpayers should not pay for it. As far as the Vice President's sensitivity training program, it sounds just ducky. But quite frankly, Scarlet, I yield back all the hugs and kisses at the IRS.
