Subject: Tax Reform

Comment: Listening to the preliminary "news" coming out relative to the "work" of the panel, I am appalled at the lack of "reform" that appears to be the results of this group.
If you really want to reform and adhere to the charge from the President, get real reform by getting behind the Fair Tax Bill now in the House. I can't think of a better reform than that one. I'm assuming that you have not read the Fair Tax Book (Rep. Linder).
All you are proposing, from what I've read and heard, is additional red tape and, therefore, additional tax preparation costs.
If you can't come up with better "reform" please disband and go home and/or talk to people out in the real world, not academics and politicians.
Thank you,
