It's About Time: End the IRS #EndTheIRS #StandWithRand

There are 73,954 pages I’d like you to help me take to the paper shredder.

Believe it or not, that’s how many pages of Internal Revenue Service Code hardworking American citizens are forced to comply with every year.

Many of my colleagues here in Congress won’t bother reading bills even 20 pages long.  

But if you miss a single sentence, the punishments range from invasive audits, to fines, to outright imprisonment.


This MUST change.

As you’ll see, I’ve created a special "END THE IRS" petition to your Congressman and U.S. Senators.

But I hope you won’t just sign it.  I hope you’ll forward it to every friend and family member you have as well.

I know many Americans were shocked recently to learn about the IRS’ targeted harassment of pro-limited government organizations under President Obama.

You and I still have to fight to get to the bottom of this.

But the truth is, arming a government agency with this much prying power into our daily lives and expecting it NOT to be abused would be misguided at best.

That’s why I’m afraid things are about to get worse.  Perhaps even much worse.

At least 90,000 bureaucrats, attorneys and enforcement agents are already employed by the IRS.  But news stories have been trickling out over the past couple of years about the IRS hiring literally thousands of new agents to “enforce” ObamaCare.

You and I both know what that means . . .

More knocks on our doors from agents saying, “I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.”

Studies already show, Washington, D.C.’s convoluted tax code exacts a high price on American citizens:

***    The IRS itself estimates that Americans spend 6.6 BILLION hours per year trying to comply with the tax code;

***    Other studies show Americans spend up to $168 BILLION dollars – on top of the hundreds of billions they already pay in our sky-high tax rates – just to get their taxes done;

***    Too often, slick lobbyists succeed in cutting insider deals handing their own industries special favors.  Thanks to this madness, Hollywood enjoys a $225 million tax break with write offs other American citizens and industries don’t enjoy.

Is it any wonder why our economy is still only limping along?
