Subject: Latest Comment: The latest news reports on the advisory panel's proposals to change home interest & business health care deductions are very disappointing. Rather than take on meaningful reform, the panel appears to be looking for different ways of raising taxes by removing deductions. The fact that "The Fair Tax Book" spent several weeks on the New York Times Non-Fiction Best Seller list should be a claer sign that Americans are ready for a real simplification of the tax code. The panel's charter is to simplify the tax code & remove the burden of compliance to encourage growth. The so-called "reforms" that are being reported from the panel's work do not reflect the charter, and are not best for the future of the country. |
