The IRS said Carol Ward of Colorado Springs was a cheat, a liar, a thief, and a big drug dealer. The IRS then posted those accusations on flyers and spread them around all over town. The IRS then seized her business, her son's business, and all her money. But at trial Carol Ward was found to be innocent. Mr. Speaker, Carol Ward is now suing the IRS for $1 billion, $1,000 for each of those 1 million people that saw those fliers. Bravo, Mrs. Ward. And as far as the IRS is concerned, I hope Mrs. Ward kicks their assets all over Colorado. Mr. Speaker, I yield back all the liability the IRS has in this case.
