Subject: FairTax Dismissed? You have to be kidding!

Comment: Wow, did you drop the ball on this one! The time has come for this panel to give substantial, INFORMED recommendations on the idea of a flat national retail tax.

Watching your comments last night on C-Span, it became obvious that either a) none of the people on this panel have taken the time to even read the book describing this subject, or educate themselves to a point where they would be entitled to render a decision or b) those on this panel have been bribed or bought-out by special interests elsewhere in this nation's political system.

The two recommendations this panel have come up with have also failed to address the problems of a tax code that is falling apart under its own weight. Instead, this panel took the easy, lazy route of going after the rich and corporations.

You cannot silence the FairTax movement in this country with your incompetence. You have done nothing you should have for the American People. The word is out and there are quite a few voters that are going to take this Administration to task for this failure; and the responsibility for the inedptitude of this Administration to deal with the out-of-date, top-heavy tax code in this country now rests squarely on this panel's shoulders.

All of you should be ashamed.
