Subject: HR 25, The FairTax

Comment: Despite the panel's predictable pronouncements, many of us in the red states, or 'flyover country' as you know it, are convinced of the need for a national sales tax as put forth in HR 25. I have contacted my Representative in Congress as well as the two Senators from my state to inform them of my status as a one-issue voter, i.e., support the FairTax legislation or lose my vote.I'm sorry that you expert economists don't agree; however, you should know that the numbers of those who agree with the FairTax legislation are legion. That may not mean much to an appointed panel but it surely does to elected officials.
