Dear Mr. Broyles:

Thank you for your recent email regarding the Fair Tax. I appreciate you taking the time to contact me and I’m grateful for the opportunity to respond.

You’re exactly right –  America desperately needs fundamental tax reform. The current code is far too costly, inefficient and inequitable. Without question, this great nation can do much, much better. I strongly believe that Congress should quickly hold hearings on all proposals to scrap the code and institute a new system of raising federal revenue, including the Fair Tax. Democrats should have taken this approach when they were in control, but sadly that opportunity was wasted. Hopefully this will not continue.

We must keep pushing to raise awareness about the need for this critically important change. Thanks again for taking the time to contact me about this issue. If you have further questions about other federal matters, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 
Sincerely,

Walter B. Jones
Member of Congress
