Congressman Tim Walberg (MI-07) released the following statement after voting for a series of eight bipartisan bills to protect taxpayer rights, rein in IRS abuse, and increase accountability and transparency at the IRS.
"Tax Day is a vivid reminder of an ever-present truth: The tax burden on hardworking families is far too high and take-home pay is far too low. But it is also a reminder that the IRS is a mismanaged agency that has grossly abused its power, targeting citizens because of their political beliefs and unjustly seizing assets from innocent small business owners. Today's bipartisan action will begin to clean up the IRS and make the agency more accountable to the American taxpayer," said Walberg.
