“on Monday the President indicated that he will not support efforts to sunset the Internal Revenue Code and to replace it with a fairer, simpler tax system. His statement has caused me a great concern, especially since I do not know how much longer American families and businesses can afford to shoulder the tremendous tax burden they are currently facing. Taxes are simply too high, and the Internal Revenue Code is too lengthy and too complicated. Polls prove that a fairer, simpler tax system is what the American people want. I know from speaking to the people in my district that it is not only what they want, it is what they need. I urge the President to join those of us who are working to give the American people the tax relief they deserve, want and need. It is past time for a fairer, simpler tax system in this country.”
