Subject: tax simplification

Comment: Please consider bills S. 25 & HR 25 and some of the associated ideas. Some of the reported considerations by the panel do not seem to address the problem and are in conflict with the President's philosophy. To use the tax code to raise taxes on particular segments of the populus will not simplify the process and will flies in the face of the President's own campaign speeches. The people of this country are not looking for tweaks, we need real reform. K.I.S.S (keep it simple simon) should be the crux of this reform. The tax code has become too convoluted as it has been used for far too many purposes than funding the true obligations of the Federal Government.

Good luck and keep up the hard work ! Produce something to make ALL Americans proud.

Thank you for your interest.
