Subject: How very tragic!

Comment: It is amazing to me the cowardice that has been shown in the unwillingness to actually CHANGE the broken tax system that is in place. Rather than strive to put into place a tax system that is truly fair and would meet ALL three objectives that you have had as a tax panel, you instead seek to band-aid the current system and meet NONE of the objectives. So, rather than striving to excel you hold to mediocrity. How very tragic. I am truly appalled at the performance of the panel and feel sorry that the nation has men who are unwilling to make the tough calls running it.
