News and Articles by and about Herman Cain - the Hermanator Experience: "Last week when I first read Byron York’s article titled “Health care reform means more power for the IRS”, I felt like I was reading the script of a horror movie. I was in such disbelief that I spent hours looking for the specific section in H.R. 3200 that expanded the powers of the Internal Revenue Service.

Unfortunately, I found it. It’s Division A, Title IV on pages 167-215 called Amendments to IRS Code of 1986. The expanded powers of the IRS in H.R. 3200 would empower the IRS to require taxpayers to show proof of health insurance coverage, collect fines on individuals and employers who did not have adequate proof of health insurance, and determine if your health insurance was a government approved plan.

The more I read the sicker I got, because I have been through an IRS audit, and it was the most helpless feeling I have ever had in my life.

It was a more helpless feeling than when I had to ride in the back of the bus growing up in Atlanta in the 1950’s and early 1960’s, because at least I could choose to walk or catch a ride with a friend when I got sick of the painted notice in the front of the bus that read “Whites seat from front, Colored seat from rear”.

I have never shared my IRS audit experience publicly before, because I have devoted a lot of my time and energy trying to replace the tax code with the Fair Tax (H.R. 25). But my experiences of 13 years ago, which lasted for three years, might help some people realize another terrible aspect of a really bad bill in Congress that the Democrats are trying to shove down our throats."
