As the author of 14 books, dozens of research reports and hundreds of articles, Dan’s work is regularly featured on radio and television as well as in major newspapers, leading magazines and trade publications nation-wide.

His testimony to the Senate Finance Committee blew the lid off IRS abuse and led to many new taxpayers’ rights and protections.
