On the recordMarch 24, 1998
We are now just 22 days away from April 15, tax day. As this dreaded day approaches, now, more than ever, Americans are struggling with an unbelievable tax burden. On top of their already busy daily routine, the citizens of this Nation are having to file through the 8 billion pages of forms and instructions that the IRS sends out each year. Laid end to end, these forms would stretch 28 times around the Earth. It is past time to reduce this tremendous burden. The American people want, need, and deserve tax relief. I hope that people throughout this Nation will contact their Representatives and encourage them to begin a national debate on how best to create a fairer, simpler tax system for the American people.
