Yesterday, Rep. Jodey Arrington (TX-19) participated in a House Ways and Means Committee hearing where he questioned U.S. Commissioner Daniel Werfel about the accountability and transparency of the IRS.
Excerpt from Questioning:
Arrington: Commissioner, you can imagine how concerned people are with your past practice if that's any prediction of future behavior. They see a deluge of new audits on working people and small businesses, and they're having to hear the line, “We're from the government. We're here to help and you can trust us.” Listen, I'm not questioning your commitment or integrity. But I think too often we take the American people for fools, and that they are just going on their past experiences and the data. So, I certainly hope that the commitment is genuine, and that the fulfillment of that commitment is consistent with what you're saying because I find that unacceptable. And if you're going to focus on the more complicated and the high-net-worth individuals, I don't see any justification for the eight billion a year and then the President's budget asking for a 15 more percent increase.
