Comment: The media reports coming from the tax panel on Tuesday, October 11 were very disheartening. If true, the tax panel has failed miserably to accomplish anything close to what the public is clamoring for.

I suggest the panel either be dissolved or start all over again and this time add a few independent business people.

We Americans are looking for something along the lines of a national retail sales tax or a simple flat tax. Nothing short of one of those will do.
