Dan Burt Quotes
When I left law school, I wanted to go into the government, into the tax policy area. I got the job that I wanted in the International Tax Council's office in Treasury.

I realized that the only difference between my mother's family and the senators and administrators that I was working with was that the latter wore suits and ties.
