Dear Mr. President:
As two of your appointees (who have had tax problems which required one to withdraw) and also many senior Democrats have also stated our tax code is way too difficult to understand. I think you will agree with me that it is time for a change. There are many ideas floating around, but only one will actually solve the problem. It is called the Fair Tax. It is a progressive tax that will help the little guy and put a greater burden on the rich. Talk about by-partisan support; for you already have many Republicans and Democrat’s who support it, so just stop and think about it for a moment. You see, you then can go and say that you have fulfilled your promise of reducing 95% of everybody’s taxes and that you did it with overwhelming by-partisan support You then can come out and say see what we can do when we put politics aside and work for the good of the country. Not only that you then can say that you will be giving them “the little guy” a pre-bate check every month based on how many people in their household; think of what this would do for the poor. Now I think you might want to just leave out the part that everybody will get it even the rich. Once it goes into effect you will be a hero the one who brought both parties together to solve our financial mess.
So I ask you to please take a close look at the Fair Tax. For when you do I believe you will agree that the billions of dollars it will bring into our economy will not only create real jobs but encourage investment.
Sincerely
David G. Speckhardt Sr.
