The blame game

Entrepreneur, Dec, 2004 by Bernard Kamoroff

"Regulation Nation" in the October issue ("Point/Counterpoint") asks two members of Congress how government can reduce the regulatory burdens on small businesses. Both Congress members quickly blamed the IRS.

Every confusing IRS form, every complicated IRS calculation, every impossible-to-understand instruction exists solely because Rep. [Nydia] Velazquez [(D-NY)] and Rep. [Rick] Renzi [(R-AZ)] and their buddies in Congress are constantly creating complicated new tax laws, and then sticking it to the IRS to enforce.

Please ask Rep. Velazquez and Rep. Renzi when was the last time they opposed a new tax law? When was the last time they voted against another change to IRS regulations? They have only themselves to blame for our insane tax code.

Nobody likes the IRS, but Congress members who blame the IRS for trying to enforce the crummy laws that the representatives themselves shoved down our throats ought to be tossed out of office.
