On the recordJune 17, 1998
this legislation defines the Republican commitment to reduction of the tax burden on working Americans and thereby taking a mighty step toward ensuring a brighter future for people of all income levels. I am proud to be an original cosponsor of the Tax Code Termination Act. This legislation will provide for the abolition of the current unfair and burdensome Tax Code by 2001. This legislation does not carelessly abolish our current structure. Instead, the legislation requires the enactment of a replacement code by Independence Day, and that is a fitting day for this, 2001, that will be a fairer, simpler tax and reduce the tax burden on all Americans. Mr. Speaker, the current Tax Code has simply become too big and too complex to correct. You cannot fix it. All Members of the House should join us to replace the current Tax Code with a system that is fairer, less complicated and takes less money from working Americans.
