I'm interested in what role you think congress has in this. you tweeted something interesting on june 10th, you talked about the power that has been given to the presidency in terms of tariffs. and so unilaterally making the decisions as we have seen from the trump white house. you said congress should quit ducking their duty on this issue and many more. to me that sounds like you agree with republican senator bob corker that congress should pass legislation that would tie the president's hands on unilaterally being able to impose tariffs like this. am i reading that right? >> i differ from bo...

It needs to go. we need to pull it out by its roots. >> under george w. bush, republicans were at it again, trying to get rid of the tax code, with the fair tax act of 2003. in 2005, in 2007, and 2011. today, the fair tax act of 2013 lives on. it would also abolish the irs, the income tax, and repeal the 16th amendment that allows for the income tax in the first place. in other words, good-bye to the last hundred years of american governance. that, however, is an uphill battle, even for an empowered right wing. so instead of getting rid of the irs, republicans are very successfully hollowed ou...

Unless that is amended. the congress needs to stop that. the congress should not unleash i.r.s. agents to shake people down. >>shepard: a study by the u.s. say 46,000 returns, income tax returns, and they come up with a tax game number saying that we should be bringing in $300 million, $300 billion more than we are actually bringing in, and these extra i.r.s. agents are designed to stop that, narrow the gap, bring in more money. what have you got against the u.s. saying quit the cheating, we are going to bring you in, bring if that money. >>guest: i'm in the in favor of cheating but the proble...
