Subject: FairTax Support - Disappointed in Panel Comments

Comment: As a citizen and small business owner, I support the FairTax as proposed by the Americans for Fair Taxation group and detail in HR 25. I believe this to be the most fair, efficient, and appropriate option to replacing our current income tax system...which is a disgrace and should embarrass us all as Americans.

In addition, I'd like to express my outrage at recent comments made by Senator Mack in response to the FairTax proposal in which he stated quote "If this is such a great idea, why haven't other political entities around the world pursued it?" If Mr. Mack, after being given the privilege and honor to serve as as U.S. Senator, does not understand that the U.S. does not follow the lead of other countries in deciding domestic policy but sets the trend, then perhaps he is not the appropriate individual to lead this or any reform effort.

Sincerely,

Casey E. Dodd
