[ MUSIC ] Do you have any suggestions for how to make the Internal Revenue code less complex, or at least keep it from getting more complicated? And would you recommend a moratorium on either tax legislation or tax regulations? And should the tax laws simply try to raise revenue for the government Now stop trying to achieve so many other social goals or societal goals. We believe the most critical issue is creating economic growth and passing tax reform is a major component of that. And our tax reform plan we believe the tax simplification and fewer deductions are absolutely critical. Now you mentioned about the tax gap and that's something I've been reading about and studying and something that I'm actually quite interested in. I was particularly surprised that at looking at the IRS numbers, that the IRS head count has gone down quite dramatically, almost 30 % Over the last number of years. I don't think there's any other government agency that's gone down 30 % and especially for an agency that collects revenues, this is something that I'm concerned about. Now, perhaps the IRS just started with way too many people, but I am concerned about the staffing of the IRS that is an important part Of fixing the tax gap and I'm also very concerned about the lack of first rate technology at the IRS, the issue of making sure that we protect the American public's privacy when they give information to the IRS the cyber security around that And also customer service for the many hard working Americans that are paying taxes.
