Dear Senator Mack, I just missed the deadline. I have submitted several months ago to Speaker Dennis Hastert a plan for a very easy simple tax code. Please contact him for the plan I submitted. Other items to put in the new tax code. 1. Go back to the Gold Standard. FDR was a conniving rat to confiscate all the gold. Now we have 'funny money' called treasury notes, what a joke!@!!!!!! 2. Get rid of the IRS and their power to legislate by regulation on a whim!!!!!!!! It is not their money, it is ours, we work for and earned it. It is our to keep!!!! 3. All retirement funds, primary homes, IRAs, annuity plans, unemployment and disability benefits, and social security shall be tax exempt!!!! 4. A flat tax of not more that 2%, no deductions for anything. 5. The government should be able to meet the constitutionally mandated obligations with 1-2% of the GDP. I have to live within my income limits and so should both federal and state governments!!!! 6. No more with holding from paychecks. People can set up tax accounts with their banks to pay their taxes at the end of the year. 7. Anyone who does not pay the tax loses their citizenship! 8. People can freely donate to the government to the programs that they believe in and they can give more than the required 2% at anytime if they so chose. 9. The legalized extortion and harassment that is now in force will cease. 10. Taking peoples homes and property, their retirement and other meager savings puts people in a pauper's prison just like it did in the 18th and 19th centuries. When you make people homeless and push them into poverty by raping their life savings you make them dependent on the state. Please do this for the American people!!!!!
