Editor,
Mass confusion surrounds our tax code and is beginning to stimulate the debate to reform our tax system. Reform plans go from a minor overhaul of the income tax to completely abolishing it.
What we need is a fair, simple, transparent tax system that any American can understand at a glance. A new tax system that would end late night sweating over endless forms and allow us to trash our shoe boxes full of receipts. We need a system that won’t hide the tax burden in the cost of goods and services; a system that will allow working people – wage earners – to take home their entire paychecks, with no deductions. We need a tax system that will eliminate post-April 15th anxiety over whether or not we will be one of the unlucky 34 million people who are assessed a civil penalty by the IRS each and every year or that receives the dreaded audit notices.
There is one plan that can do all that, the FairTax, the perfect vision of a federal consumption tax. To learn more about this proposed new system of taxation, visit the FairTax web site at www.fairtax.org.
