Subject: tax reform in general

Comment: 1) a handpicked panel of non-everyman personnel is not the way to achieve tax reform
2) revenue neutral constraints on reform are a non-starter as far as real reform goes-all this does is shift taxes from one group to another. this not reform, but only political posturing.
3) real reform can and will only be done when and if the entire population of taxpayers are invited to the table to propose changes without constraints or artificial conditions.
4) the shame of this farce is that no elected politician is ever going to vote for real reform since real reform will cutoff their sources of reelection money and keep the elected senators and representatives from ever working for those who actually vote to put them in office
5) before we get tax reform we the people need election reform.
