Political Quotes

“Next year we will have substantial change. I believe that next year, since this particular Congress once again will not even honor the recommendations of its Joint Tax Committee to address corporate tax shelters, ignores the recommendations of the Secretary of the Treasury that this is the biggest tax compliance problem we have in America today, ignores the estimates that $10 billion a year is being lost in these cheating tax dodge schemes, I believe the next Congress is going to have enough new Members that people will say, enough is enough. We have had 6 years of do nothing, do little, avoidance of these problems. Just as these kinds of folks encourage tax avoidance, we have had a leadership that has problem avoidance. They want to avoid the problems. I know it appeals to the same special interests that get these tax shelter hustler proposals. But I believe the American people that are out there working on their taxes, certainly everybody would like to pay less, but they would like to at least be sure that other people are being dealt with fairly. Clearly these people are not dealing fairly.”
