John,
Donald Trump is at it again with his disastrous cabinet nominations — this time, he’s trying to put a fox in charge of the henhouse.
His nominee for IRS Commissioner? Former Congressman Billy Long, who once tried to abolish the IRS entirely and replace income taxes with a crushing 30% national sales tax. He’s shown his hand — he’s ready to line his own pockets and help out his billionaire friends while working families struggle under the burden of rising costs.
This nomination is a direct attack on the progress the IRS has made under Commissioner Danny Werfel, who’s been cracking down on wealthy tax cheats, recovering over $1 billion from the ultra-rich, and launched a free, user-friendly online tax filing system that’s saved Americans millions.
Billy Long’s track record makes it clear he’s unfit for this role. After leaving office, he profited from a fraud-plagued industry and exploited the Employee Retention Tax Credit. Now, Trump wants him to dismantle essential reforms, paving the way for tax evasion by millionaires, billionaires, and big corporations.
We can’t afford (literally) to let this happen.
Sign on now to tell the Senate to reject Billy Long’s nomination and protect critical IRS reforms.
We’re standing up for economic justice and making sure the wealthy pay their fair share — just like the rest of us.
Thanks,
Democratic Values
