Subject: Tax Panel recommendations

Comment: Here's a hint to the Nine Nitwits and Three Treasury Trolls who think they can thwart the desires of the American people and "put one over" on them ... YOU CAN'T!!!

True Tax Reform WILL be an election issue and though all of you feel "protected" since you are not directly elected, each of you should hang your head in shame. You have grossly failed to do your job.

It is obvious from the comments coming into your website that the American people "get it" --- it's a damn shame that none of you do. You all deserve to be blackballed for good from appointative government panels in the future.

Your recent abysmal performance with the intention of passing recommendations to John Snow that do not even come close to meeting he President's charge to you nor enen your own high-flown rhetoric about how "the people" want to fix a terribly broken system is both shameful and deceitful not to mention self-serving and false.

The American people are not that stupid. Pack up and leave since you have failed to do the job set out for you. All you've done is tinker with the tax code for the umpteenth time in almost 100 years. AND YOU SOMEHOW THINK THAT REPEATING THE SAME STUNT AGAIN WILL "FIX" THINGS???

Get Real!! Get the FairTax and let's have some genuine reform and benefit for our country and its taxpayers. And let's stop the foolishness of trying to make people think the FairTax rate is "67 to 84%" as you have tried to do in your press leaks. Good God - how dumb do you think people are? (Don't answer; it's already obvious). Those are rates not from the FairTax but from a "composite" state sales tax (which you have nowhere defined - along with any other numbers) with all exemptions and exceptions (again undefined) in states presently. That's nothing like the FairTax.

You should ALL be ashamed of your cheap, trashy "effort", It is the antithesis of what is actually needed.
