Subject: Make tax reform real

Comment: Claiming to have made "tough" choices on your proposed changes are ridiculous and are really the EASY choices. All you've done is increase the tax burden on the 50% of Americans who ACTUALLY pay income taxes. The tough choice, and the only one that benefits ALL Americans while boosting our economy, creating new jobs and removing all of the tax burden from poor Americans is the Fair Tax Act; HR 25 currently in the House of Representatives. There was a revolution 230 years ago because of taxes and if Americans' tax burden gets worse then there may very well be another revolt. Your panel needs to recommend real tax reform. Read the Fair Tax Book and educate yourselves.
