  • Mullin Votes to Simplify Tax Code for Oklahoma Families & Small Businesses

    Tags: Tax Reform

    Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) released the following statement after the House passed H.R. 1, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: “Americans deserve to keep more of their paycheck in their own pocket, instead of sending it to Washington, D.C. to be spent hastily by federal bureaucrats,” said Mullin. “The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act puts over $2,200 back in the pockets of Oklahoma’s hardworking, middle-class families so they can decide for themselves where to spend more of their hard-earned dollars. The T... Read more

    I remember what it was like to earn my first paycheck. I spent all month putting in hours to earn a decent wage. When pay day finally arrived, I looked at my paycheck and saw that a substantial portion of my earnings didn’t even end up in my pocket. Dollars going to local, state, and federal governments took a hefty chunk of my hard-earned wages and left me wondering how it was fair that Congress and unelected bureaucrats spent my money however they saw fit. Unfortunately, this is the reality fo... Read more

    Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-2) released the following statement after Republicans rolled out their unified framework for tax reform. The framework provides a concrete path forward to relieve American families and businesses from the enormous tax burden they currently shoulder. “Our nation’s tax code is broken. For far too long, our tax code has burdened American families, stunted our economy’s growth, and limited the ability of our businesses to compete in global markets,” said Mullin. “Wit... Read more

    Oklahomans deserve every chance to pursue their dreams, whether the goal is to open a restaurant, run a small business, or innovate something new. The federal government should not stand in the way of these goals. Instead, it should create opportunity and support our dreams. I am working to give Oklahomans these opportunities by cutting red tape, and eliminating obstacles caused by an overpowering tax code and burdensome regulations. Small businesses are the backbone of Oklahoma’s economy. Toget... Read more

  • Mullin Votes to Protect Personal Privacy

    Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) voted Tuesday in favor of H.R. 5053, the Preventing IRS Abuse and Protecting Free Speech Act. The bill prohibits the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from requiring non-profit organizations to disclose the personal information of contributors. “The IRS has no business requiring non-profit organizations to tell them who gave money,” says Mullin. “This is just another way that big government is trying to pry into the lives of Americans.” Under the current tax law...

  • Holding the IRS Accountable to Oklahomans

    Tags: Tax Reform

    Over the past several years, we’ve seen the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) spend millions of taxpayer dollars without permission, hire people who don’t pay their taxes, rehire people who were once dismissed for misconduct, and give bonuses to employees who aren’t doing their jobs. This is completely unacceptable, and it almost seems ridiculous that Congress would even have to pass laws to prohibit these things from happening. But as most Oklahomans know, the federal government does a lot of... Read more

    Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02) voted for a series of bills this week that will help rein in the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and hold the Obama administration accountable to Oklahomans. “We’ve seen the IRS spend millions of taxpayer dollars without permission, hire people who don’t pay their taxes or have a known history of misconduct, and give bonuses to employees who aren’t doing their jobs,” said Mullin. “This week, I voted for four bills that would stop all of these things from ...

  • Mullin Says IRS Has No Business Restricting Oklahomans’ First Amendment Rights

    The U.S. House of Representatives voted on Tuesday to make sure the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not target or discriminate against Oklahomans who exercise their First Amendment Rights. “Constitutional rights can’t be overruled by federal agencies that want to push the president’s agenda,” said Congressman Markwayne Mullin (OK-02). “The fact that we even had to write this bill is ridiculous, but the past has shown us that religious and non-profit groups need protection from the IRS’ ...

  • The IRS Has No Business Taking Family Farms

    Christie and I raise our five kids on the same farm that I grew up on in Westville, Oklahoma. Jim, Andrew, Larra, Ivy, and Lynette are the fourth generation of Mullins to live on the farm, and I want to make sure the farm stays in our family. I hear too many stories about families who have lost their farms, because our federal tax code treats family-owned businesses, farms, and ranches unfairly. I’m fighting for a bill that would change this. The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has placed enormou... Read more

    Most people dread tax season. It seems like in the weeks leading up to the filing deadline, there are endless amounts of information to gather, whether you are filing your taxes yourself or using an advisor. When the federal income tax code was instituted in 1913, it was only 27 pages. Now, it is over 9,000 pages. There is no question that our federal tax code has grown out of control. According to an estimate by the Internal Revenue Service’s (IRS) National Taxpayer Advocate, Americans spend be... Read more
