Dear Chairman Mack and Tax Reform Panel Members:
Please recommend the FairTax (HR 25 / S 25) as a replacement for the
income tax system.
The FairTax provides the closest thing to what the Founding Fathers had in mind.
It enables taxpayers to fully fund government and allows for our economy to
thrive at the same time. It proposes a system of taxation that does not impede
enterprise.
The FairTax provides the most progressive and effective plan to fund
government while letting business thrive. It provides a viable way for America to
compete effectively in the global economy.
A group of 75 academic economists (including a Nobel Laureate) recently
signed a letter recommending the FairTax. Please consider their estimation as
you consider which plan to recommend.
Please finish this job as well as you started it - and have performed it. Please
make your recommendation based solely on what would be the best system of
taxation for America.
Thank you for your diligence and your work.
Gratefully,
Larry Whittington
