Comment: Dear Tax Reform Panel: I support a flat tax, somewhere in a range of 15-17%, on all income regardless of income level. I would retain write-offs for mortage interest and charitable deductions only. I believe that a flat tax on all income will incentivize all taxpayers to vote and become more engaged in issues of importance. A simplified tax levy will reduce the burden upon the individual to engage costly and time-consuming experts to file complex returns. Taxes can be more accurately deducted from income as it is earned which will result in more timely collections of revenues into government coffers. Respectfully, Michael V.
