On the recordFebruary 2, 2000
After destroying lives and ruining families for years, reports now say that the IRS is being investigated for targeting political opponents. Being one, I find it amusing that all of the sudden files are missing, agents have amnesia, and evidence just cannot be found. Truth is, the IRS has been lying through their teeth for so long, they need braces. Think about it. Little Punxsutawney Phil can find his shadow, but the big bad IRS cannot find their laptops. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. It is time to abolish both the income tax and the IRS. Replace it with a national retail sales tax. Mr. Speaker, one last thing. I yield back the lies, crimes, dental needs, and amnesia of the ``Internal Rectal Service.''
