Subject: TAX REFORM

Comment: My husband and i are tired of paying income tax. We are 69 and 64 years old and can not retire, we have to keep working so that we can live. Now we read that your panel wants to do away with morgage interest, home equity and second home interest from income tax. How about helping the middle class and not the poor and well to do. I have read the Boortz, Sen. Lenders book on the FAIR TAX. I believe that this is the only fair and equitable way to collect the governments fair share, not nickle and dimeing the middle class. We fought the British about taxes (ok no rep) to become independent now its our turn to fight the IRS,THE LOBBIEST, AND THE GREEDY GOVERNMENT
