Article written by Jack Warren Wade, Jr. and Published by the Heritage Foundation. Recent Congressional hearings on IRS abuses have demonstrated a long-overdue need for legislative protections such as those in The Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, proposed by Senator David Pryor, (D-Ark.). For years taxpayers have testified that IRS collection actions - where most abusive situations arise - were frequently overzealous, heavy-handed, detrimental to the government's interest, and sometimes illegal.
