“On behalf of the nearly one million members and supporters of the American Conservative Union, I commend you for your introduction of S. 1673, the Tax Code Termination Act. The purpose of the legislation is simple: by abolishing the current tax code by a date certain, the legislation would force a national debate on what kind of tax structure best fits our nation's needs, while meeting the reform criteria of being lower, flatter, and fairer. If enacted, the bill would force just such a debate into the center of the 2000 federal elections, at both the presidential and congressional level. Such a debate is a necessary prerequisite for thoughtful action to revise the code appropriately.”
