Subject: Fair Tax Act

Comment: The Panel agreed the current tax system is severely broken. To outright reject the Fair Tax Act is unresponsible on the part of this panel, and to continue to adjust and tinker with the current system is is to further convalute the cureent Tax code to the advantage of the politicians in congress. This proves you folks do not want to fix the problem. You want to continue to control the lives of the citizens and ruin the way business is conducted in this country. You wonder why folks invest in offshore accts and not in this country? Why business's are outsourcing to foreign countries? The current Tax system which you seem to want to perpetuate. The Fair Tax Act would do more good for the citizens and business climate in this country then the tinkering you folks are recommending so far. How many of you have read the Fair Tax Act itself or the book on it? From the looks of it, none of you, or you wouldn't outright reject it like you have.You folks have become as irresponsible as the members of congress in your actions in this matter. The actions of your panel have become an example of waste and personal interests in maintaining your control over the citizens of this country. You have no intrest in doing what is right for the people of this country, dumping the current system, and passing the Fair Tax Act. If you pass the Fair Tax Act, you can't play the rich v. thew poor class warfare game. You can't play your PORK BARREL Spending games, by dipping into Social Security Fund, to by and pander for votes. You yourselves have beome a continuing part of the problem with no intention of really trying to fix the problem. You have done a great dis-service to this country and it's citizens with the current path that you are taking in this matter. Your Blue Panel has become a BLACK PANEL! My tax money has gone to pay for this?? None of you have the courage to do what is truely right in this matter - PASS THE FAIR TAX ACT!!!!! I can't believe the President has put together a group of folks with such small foresight into doing something really constructive and responsible for this country and it's citizens. You have done a great dis-service to yourselves and this country. What a total disappointment you have become. Respect is earned folks notdemanded, or, ordained. You folks have not earned any respect for your actions so far, nor do I suppose you really care in this matter. Ssome of us out here in the real world are not a dumb or stupid as you may think. Our day will come at the BALLOT BOX, BY CLEANING OUT THE WASTE IN CONGRESS AND GETTING BACK TO THE CONSITION AND THE TRUE FREEDOMS THAT THIS COUNTRY WAS FOUNDED ON. A very disappointed citizen, Mike Ponich
