While Campaigning for President in 2004 Mr. Bush promised he would do something about tax reform. True to his word shortly after election he did appoint a bi-partisan Advisory panel on Federal Income Tax Reform, in January 2005, but the present congress is NOT likely to act on any legislation, as tax reform.

Americans are currently spending over 200 Billion dollars a year trying to comply and avoid paying taxes in what is now such an incredibly complex tax system. Bush is spending most of his time fighting off Democratic attacks on his administration and gathering support for the war to do anything forward thinking on the American tax situation.

Every year the tax code gets more and more complex, we do not need another panel or congressional inquiry into tax reform, we need something to simplify it and make everyone pay their fair share.

A simple flat tax would solve all these problems, many nation already have successful flat tax systems in place, the more you make the more you pay, simple as that. A few of the countries that already have flat taxes are, Jersey, Hong Kong, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Russia, and the Ukraine. China is thinking about imposing a flat tax to do away with their tax code. Removal of the income tax would give more incentive for people to save money.

We fought a long and hard war to get away from England's unfair taxation, America is supposed to be a free country with little government interference, however with our current tax system WE MUST PAY A SIGNIFICANT portion of OUR EARNINGS, whether we use government services or not, where is the freedom and justice in this?
