Subject: recommendations for a consumption tax plan

Comment: I hope you will consider making the recommendation for a national consumption tax to replace our current tax system. The current tax system is impossible to comprehend for the average taxpayer and apparently almost anyone, including IRS and tax professionals as well as being unfair and tremendously burdensome. It is irretrievably broken and needs to be scraped! After much consideration, I believe a consumtion tax, as proposed by HR25 and SB25 is the fairest, most productive plan to date. It is the best (and maybe only) way for lower income Americans to have a say in their taxes as well as get a little ahead by being able to save something for themselves. It would generate the most income, bring huge increases in businesses coming home to the US. Please give this your top consideration.
