Subject: Tax Reform Comment: Being the owner of a small business for the last 40 years I go through w yearly ordeal of having to go through considerable effort & expense to get my taxes done. I don't think it's in any way fair that the tax code is so complicated that we have little idea of what's happening. That & the multi layers of taxes imposed on us is not fair, employer, sales, property, & other taxes make it a tough burden on us. Add to that the increase in fuel costs & it's getting harder to do business. A flat tax or a consumption tax would simplify matters & ALL would pay their fait share. I suspect there's resisitence to this because of all the offshore havens that many of the super rich enjoy. I have no trouble with the rich, only that they, as well as everyone else, pay their fair share. Thanks Rich Langner |
