I’m Robert McIntyre, director of Citizens for Tax Justice. Founded in 1979, CTJ is a nonprofit tax policy research and advocacy group that fights for fair and adequate taxes at the federal, state and local levels. I appreciate the opportunity to appear before the Budget Committee today, to discuss the federal “tax gap” — a polite word for tax cheating that is costing honest taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
