My trade philosophy has been really simple. Make it in America, grow it in America, add value to it in America, and then ship it somewhere.

We all have to be in this together.

On July 16, 2018, after careful review, the IRS and Department of the Treasury released Revenue Procedure 2018-38 limiting the requirement to file names and addresses on Schedule B to organizations described in section 501(c)(3) or section…

I appreciate the way in which you have tackled this over the years, keeping the focus on the substance.

I think a lot of this is becoming an end run around the Fourth Amendment.

this is incredibly short sighted and unacceptable.

The Carpenter case was certainly a step in the right direction, really looking to some of the privacy issues surrounding geolocation questions.

Thank you, Senator Jones, for giving me the opportunity, and also to the majority that arranged for me to come.

We have to ensure that our laws keep up with technology.

Constitutional rights should not stop automatically. They should not just disappear at the border.

Given the right opportunities for tax planning and tax evasion, frankly, created under the new Republican tax law, how are you going to combat the kinds of aggressive tax planners?

the next IRS Commissioner is going to be in charge of administering a tax system that is broken in two.

I thought that statement he made was way over the line. I mean, not even close, because that is really trying to interfere with the impartial administration of tax law.

Is that not sending a message, an inherently political message, when what we want--whether it is Democrats or Republicans--is the law enforced?

You noted a desire to rebuild trust and faith in the IRS for the 'everyday guy' and 'the guy on the street.'

I hope you will do that first, rather than continue on other matters that might make for good publicity but do not really deal with the guts of what our economy needs.

My view is, you only get there by making enormous mistakes, and professionals would not make that possible.

If confirmed, you have some heavy lifting to do because, after all the ballyhoo about how the administration was going to get taxes on a postcard...

given what has happened recently, literally a month ago, with the Vice President of the United States basically saying that his views were more important than the Johnson Amendment

I think every American, Democrats, Republicans, whatever your political philosophy, ought to be very troubled that the Vice President thinks he can make a statement like that.

I find it incredulous that somebody could be under a continuous audit unless they had made enormous mistakes on their tax returns over and over again.

it is a recipe for even more dark money going into our political system.

Obviously key positions with respect to fairness for taxpayers.

What kind of a message would it send for the IRS not to pursue evidence of the law being violated by a high government official?

I plan on supporting each of those three nominees.
