Nominating a former congressman to lead the IRS who previously sought to abolish it. Billy Long co-sponsored bills to replace income taxes with a regressive 30% national sales tax, a scheme that would crush working families and let billionaires off the hook. The current IRS Commissioner, Danny Werfel who began a five year term just last year, has been making real progress: cracking down on wealthy tax cheats, collecting over $1 billion from the ultra-rich, and launching Direct File—a free, user-friendly way to file taxes online that saved Americans millions of dollars this year alone. Trump’s nominee would more than likely dismantle this progress and pave the way for rampant tax evasion by millionaires, billionaires, and large profitable corporations. After leaving office in 2023, Long began working in a fraud-plagued industry meant to exploit the Employee Retention Tax Credit—underscoring how unfit he is for the role of the nation’s top tax-law enforcement officer. His appointment would give millionaire tax cheats free reign and undermine critical IRS reforms. We must stop this attack on economic justice and defend the IRS from being weaponized against hard-working Americans. Tell the Senate to oppose Trump's nomination of Billy Long for IRS Commissioner. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/stop-trumps-nominee-from-dismantling-the-irs-2
