Subject: Tax Reform Comment: And I quote from this web site... "The Advisory Panel will submit to the Secretary of the Treasury a report containing revenue neutral policy options for reforming the Federal Internal Revenue Code as soon as practicable, but not later than November 1, 2005. These options should: simplify Federal tax laws to reduce the costs and administrative burdens of compliance with such laws; share the burdens and benefits of the Federal tax structure in an appropriately progressive manner while recognizing the importance of homeownership and charity in American society; and promote long-run economic growth and job creation, and better encourage work effort, saving, and investment, so as to strengthen the competitiveness of the United States in the global marketplace." And which part of the above do you not understand. Changing the deduction level for a mortgage is a pitiful response to the above Mandate. Have you read the Fair Tax book that has been recently released. Have you truly considered it as an option....or is it to just be more taxation and more code and more pages of nonsense for US Citizens to deal with. You have an exceptional opportunity to due something great for this country....don't waste it. R. Khoury |
