Subject: Disappointment with Recommendations

Comment: Ladies & Gentlemen of the Tax Panel:
Bloomberg news recently reported that your panel was going to recommend tax increases as your plan for tax reform. The article went on to say that your panel decided not to consider the National Sales Tax plan because it would "disproportionately hurt the poor." It is hard for me as an American citizen to fathom how a panel of "experts" could make such a illogical statement about the National Sales Tax plan and also come to the conclusion that reform is best accomplished by raising taxes. This news is very disheartening and will serve as motivation for me to begin my personal reform plan of voting those who oppose true reform out of office and replacing them with people that advocate less government, true tax reform and personal liberty. I urge you to rethink you recommendations. Thank you for your time.
