Subject: Tax Increases

Comment: I am distressed to hear that the President's Tax Reform Panel is even considering tax increases as a way to "reform" the tax system. Any member of the panel that would even consider such an idea is a disgrace, and unworthy of sitting on such a panel.

The Republican Party will lose my vote for sure if this is the kind of reform it is going to allow to pass.

It is time for real reform, not reshuffling of the cards.
