Dear [recipient name was inserted here],
Republican Congressman Bob Goodlatte (VA-06), has joined with Democratic Congressman Collin Peterson (MN-07) to introduce a bipartisan bill to abolish the Internal Revenue Code. The bill, H.R. 4725, is entitled The Tax Code Termination Act and will repeal the entire tax code, except portions that deal with Social Security and Medicare by December 31, 2009, and calls on Congress to approve a new Federal tax system by July of the same year. This legislation has already been passed twice by the House of Representatives, first in 1998 by a vote of 219-209 and then in 2000 by a vote of 229-187.
Congressman Goodlatte stated, "Today's tax code is unfair, discourages against savings and investment, and is impossibly complex. The Tax Code Termination Act will force Congress to finally debate and address fundamental tax reform. Whichever simple tax system is adopted, the key ingredients should be: a low rate for all Americans; tax relief for working people; protection of the rights of taxpayers and reduction in tax collection abuses; promotion of savings and investment; and encouragement of economic growth and job creation."
As you know, I believe the answer to Congressman Goodlatte's desires relative to what the new tax collection system should contain is the FAIRTAX! While passage of this bill would not get us to the FairTax, it would force the debate on a national scale that FairTax supporters are dying to have. I think we will win if the debate is forced upon our leaders in Washington. I want you to support H.R. 4725 as well as H.R. 25/S. 25.
