Michael Burgess said "I thank the gentleman from Missouri for yielding. Mr. Speaker, we are hearing that this bill is a tax cut. But that only applies if you sign up for ObamaCare and participate in all the green tax credits. But if you don't, then this bill is a tax increase of over $10.5 billion for those making under $200,000 a year. Despite what you say, there is $80 billion in this bill for 87,000 new IRS agents, and this will disproportionately increase audits on low- and middle-income earners at a time when even the best CPA firms cannot find qualified employees. Now, Wednesday in the Rules Committee, I tried to get an amendment by Mr. Davidson of Ohio made in order that would require that all of these new hires at least be CPAs. This was rejected by every Democrat in the Rules Committee. Mr. Speaker, they are coming after you. They are coming after you with poorly trained technicians, and it is just not right." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
