Political Quotes

“I am here to support the Taxpayer Due Process Enhancement Act. It is a bipartisan bill that strengthens taxpayer protections and restores fairness to disputes with the IRS. Prior to my time in elected office, I dealt with a law firm that did hundreds of tax returns every year. I dealt with everyday Americans as they brought their records, receipts, W-2s, 1099s, and whatever paperwork they had received from the IRS. Many were not experts, and I am talking about the people who work for the IRS, because they are frequently wrong. Our clients were workers, retirees, small business owners, and families trying to do the right thing. I saw how easy it is for honest taxpayers to become overwhelmed with our overcomplicated tax law and, therefore, wind up confused with all of their notices and rules that seemed to change from year to year, and they sometimes did. Those are the people I came to Congress to help, and those are the people this bill is meant to protect.”
