Subject: Wake-Up Call Comment: I would like the panel to know that I appreciate being relieved of any illusion that true tax reform will come from within the 495 Beltway. I now understand that the responsibility for implementing the FairTax Act lies with voters across the land. Also, I would like to thank the panel for the lesson in real-world politics. Your performance lets me know that even an independent, highly esteemed, experienced and well respected group such as yours simply cannot be effective in Washington. I now understand that K Street lobbyists hold sway over everything that happens there. I now understand that voters must become the most powerful lobby. For that reason, I am on the web and email organizing voters to create that lobby...and it's working. Thank you for eliminating the tax reform panel as political cover. Politicians can no longer hide behind the curtains with the Great Oz of the Tax Reform Panel. This Oz has been outed just like the other one. All the politicians hiding behind the tax reform panel must now accept personal responsibility for their lack of support of the FairTax Act. I would also like to include a note of condolence. Each of the members will have their professional reputation destroyed when the panel report is submitted. Their official report will invite howls of protest and hoots of derision. Hopefully, the President will send them packing. They each are looking at a very bleak professional future. Agreed, they earned every bit of it but that's mighty long way to fall. |
