Subject: The Fair Tax is not for Bureaucrats!

Comment: I am a self employeed comission sales person. 20 years ago I looked at the amount of my federal taxes and decided to cut my expenses and live a moderate lifestyle. I am a college graduate believe I should be able to prepare my own tax returns and have done so over the years. It takes weeks each year to prepare and file. I have no employees. The Fair Tax wil eliminate this unproductive waste (compliance costs) and lower the cost of goods and services in the U.S. I read today that you are considering a comprise! Something like an income and value added tax. That's what friends predict when the see what the Fair Tax could do for our country! If your goal is to encourage more FEMA like boondogles I'd say a comprise would be in order. FairTax is not what most bureaucrats want to hear about, think about or talk about. It threatens the status quo. FairTax means tax lobbyists will have to find other ways to make a living. It means politicians will have to find other ways to fund election campaigns. It upsets a lot of applecarts.
It will also make us the the best we can be! I urge you in no uncertain terms to recommend passage of the FAIR TAX and the elimination of the IRS!
