Mr. Speaker. common sense tells me that the IRS is far too large and intrusive. Consider that the IRS has more than 136.000 employees. while the INS has only 6.500 border patrol agentsabout 20 times more people to take our money than to protect our borders. That is simply outrageous. Today. the House will consider the IRS Restructuring and Reform Act. This legislation will enact 28 new protections that enhance taxpayer rights when citizens become involved in IRS dispute and will effectively shift the burden of proof from the taxpayer to the IRS in court proceedings. By leveling the playing field between honest citizens and an out of control Government agency. the American taxpayers come up the big winners.
