Subject: My brother was hit by the AMT and is now facing financial ruin. The stress of this has caused him to become clinically depressed, and has led to the breakup of his marriage. Comment: Dear Honorable Chairmen Mack & Breaux, please find my testimony given to Ways & Means last Summer. Please, your urgent consideration and leadership is requested to right this atrocious injustice. Statement of Kristen Lacy To the House Ways and Means Committee, Subcommittee on Oversight Washington, D.C. June 2004 My brother was hit by the AMT and is now facing financial ruin. The stress of this has caused him to become clinically depressed, and has led to the breakup of his marriage. He has two little girls, and I'm so worried about him and his future. This is outrageous, and unfair, and the government of this "free" country should be ashamed of itself for doing this to honest, hard-working people who had bright futures ahead of them. His offer in compromise was rejected, and he is now faced with $60,000 in debt on money he never made. Kristen Lacy Chicago, IL 9th Congressional District |
