Subject: America Needs a Fair Tax NOW!

Comment: Dear Tax Reform Panel,

I am writing to call your attention to the Fair Tax bill (HR25), in case you are not very familiar with it.

The Fair Tax bill (HR25) is a national sales tax alternative to the current Income Tax system. It is unique in that it is a progressive tax, while also being a consumption tax! This is accomplished by allowing for a "pre-bate" check for every American, calculated to cover the basic needs for an average American in the current economy. With such a method, the poor and lower middle class will not be negatively effected by a consumption tax.

I urge you to please visit www.FairTax.org to find out more about the Fair Tax (HR25), so that you will help to sponsor this fantastic legislation that will help the welfare of our American economy.

If passed, the Fair Tax (HR25) will:

• Make illegal immigrants and black market merchants finally pay into our tax system, thus lessoning the tax burden of the American people.
• Allow you to keep 100% of your paycheck, pension, and social security payment.
• Dramatically reduce the cost of goods and services by 20% to 30%.
• Dramatically lower tax rates for lower and middle-income Americans.
• Allow families to save more for home ownership, education & retirement.
• Free up time & money wasted on filling out cumbersome IRS forms.
• Raise the same amount of money for the federal government.
• Eliminate self-employment taxes.
• Make American products more competitive overseas.
• Protect and ensure the funding of Social Security and Medicare.
• Make taxation of income unconstitutional by repealing the 16th amendment.
• Eliminate the Internal Revenue Service.
