Subject: To whom have you caved?

Comment: I am very disapointed that you decided to abandon the request that was made of you and opt instead to simply add to the confusion by recommending several hundred more pages to the income tax code.
I am especially disapointed in Connie Mack. You know better. Florida has a sales tax and no income tax. You more than most on the panel know the benefits Florida has reaped by not having an income tax. You know that those benefits would make the US hugely competitive in the world economy. Every company in the world would want to move some of its offices to the US to avoid income taxes.
You know that the FairTax has built into it protection for the poor in the form of the prebate for taxation on spending at the poverty level.
I am saddenned that you shirked your responsibilities. I don't think you would have done that when you were my senator.
