Subject: HR25 /S25:FairTax

Comment: As a taxpayer for more than 30 years my concern now is retirement.Under the current system if ,God forbid, I would die my family would not gain access to my Social Security retirement benefits.All those years paying into a system that doesn`t pay back. I found that to be an UNFAIR prospect. Gentlemen remember the demographics in the voting population is and has changed. The baby boomers are now the majority to this statistic.The internet has been a vital source to inform the people.For that, the public thanks you! Please take the collective political will to replace and not just reform the current tax code.Therefore,embrace the FairTax or National Retail Sales Tax.STOP TAXING INCOME and impower the American people with the spending ,saving,investing, funding that it takes to make this country GREAT.Our Government,our Representatives,for the common good,can also strengthen the meaning of our Constitution; that can be you oh distinguished Panel!Help us continue to be a Republic with strong values and conviction to be a beacon to the rest of the world.Sorry, I get quit passionate about where I live and breath!! Thank you for this opportunity to express my views.
