An IRS chief who wants to abolish the IRS

Trump is trying to protect his super-rich supporters from paying fair taxes.

Donald Trump is making so many alarming appointments that it’s hard to keep up with them. But in this installment of On-Target, Steven Beschloss and I discuss how Trump wants to reward his super-rich supporters by installing an IRS commissioner who thinks the IRS should be abolished. The New Republic’s Timothy Noah has written an excellent piece about Trump’s IRS pick, Billy Long.
