I was at the March 8th meeting. Although I was only able to stay for two hours, I was really impressed that something is actually going to come out of this panel. The speakers were excellent and the panels questions really impressed me that they are really going to make some great recomendations to the President. I was there as invited by the Fair Tax group. I paid 10182.00 in FICA and got 472.00 back. That is so wrong. Singles are taxed unfairly. I am in favor of a national sales tax. Thanks for your panels efforts to help the public.
