But before I close, there is one person here who deserves very special recognition, and that is Bob Brockamp of Prescott, AZ, who is the personification of an IRS victim. He and his family have suffered an injustice that no one should…

Mr. Speaker, the bill we vote on today will give David, the taxpayer, a bigger slingshot to use against the IRS Goliath. But as proud as I am of this bill, it is just the beginning. Reforming the IRS is a very important first step, but the…

Nobody on this side of the aisle said that payroll taxes were not taxes. Certainly they are taxes. We recognize that and we created the earned income tax credit specifically for that purpose, to give those families some tax relief against…
