“PULLING BACK THE CURTAIN”

(Jul. 26, 2016) — On Thursday, July 14, Tax Revolution Institute (TRI) Executive Director Dan Johnson appeared on Robin Koerner’s Blue Republican Radio to share more details on TRI’s initiative to conduct the first-ever independent audit of the IRS.
“We’re going to audit the people who audit you,” Johnson told Koerner from the convention hall of FreedomFest 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
But the idea goes further than simply giving the IRS “a taste of their own medicine.” The purpose of the audit, as Johnson explains in the interview, is to shed light on an agency that has done all it can to remain in the shadows.
The secrecy that shrouds the Internal Revenue Services rivals that of any other three-letter federal agency, and a multipronged approach will be required to pull back the curtain.
Johnson noted that TRI will engage in both legal and university-level research, file Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, and even initiate litigation to get the information from the IRS that the American people deserve.
