Subject: Enact HR25 - Fair Tax NOW!

Comment: As an owner of several small businesses I find it completely and total amazing that the HR25 - Fair Tax proposal has been so flattly (no pun inteneded) shot down. What you are failing to see is the cost to administer yet another set of rules to appease a minority voice (the PAC's).

Simplification is the key to an ever growing economy.

Everyone, including yourselves, knows that the current government structure can not react or sustain itself or it's people. Nor does it have the ability to change as the world does. None of our tax codes, FDA process, Import/Export controls or border control, just to name a few, can keep up. So now we're going to add new rules to try and plug gaps, guess what? There will be more cheating on taxes, more income avoidance strategies and more off shore activity. Which will all lead to more money for enforcement and audit, neither of which grow the economy a dime.

Simplify the tax code with a Fair Tax and a Fair Plan, not another road block.

Please do the right thing!
