Subject: tax reform

Comment: It seems to me all of your suggestions are just another form of tax increases. I don't see anything that makes it easier to own a home. I see you taxing home owners because with not letting them deduct home mortgage interest, that is a tax increase. You are also increasing the complexity of the tax system. Haven't you read the fair tax book or are you giving in to the k street people that make their living manipulating the current tax system. I don't think you have done anything that the president has asked you to do. you are making reforms by increasing taxes. You use the big words and double talk around the subject to confuse people and make them think this is so complicated.
