Subject: Tax Reform

Comment: Ladies and gentlemen of the Tax Reform Panel:

First I would like to thank you for undertaking this most important task! It is hugely important to the country that you get it right in making your recomendations as we will all likely have to live with the result for a long time.

Pursuant to that, The only tax reform proposal that meets ALL the criteria set forth by the president in his charge to you is the proposal set forth in HR25/S25, The FairTax plan. Nothing else even comes close in my estimation.

The Fairtax plan would also go a long way toward solving the solvency issues currently exsisting in our Social Security and Medicare programs as well.

And last but far from being least, The Fairtax would return our country's taxing method to something much more in keeping with methods envisioned by our founders unlike the current progressive income tax which was endorsed by Karl Marx and Frederick Engles in their "Manefesto of the Communist Party".

The progressive income tax properly needs to be put where its' main adhearants political philosophy has already found itself, on the ash heap of history, and I beg you to so recommend!
