Subject: Fair Tax/ Flat Tax

Comment: Are you considering the Fair Tax? The Flat Tax?

If not, why not?

Without these two proposals included in your recommendations, I am afraid you will run the risk of a taxpayer groundswell that in the end may unravel your efforts.

Please consider both of these proposals.

And for God's sake, don't eliminate the Mortgage deduction. And if you do, at least balance it with the elimination of the AMT.

Thank you,

John A Kleiner
