Do you believe that the present tax system is impossibly complex, outrageously expensive, overly intrusive, economically destructive, and manifestly unfair. The National Commission on Economic Growth and Tax Reform, appointed by Senate Leader Bob Dole and House Speaker Newt Gingrich, agrees. After months of public hearings, it has recommended that we throw out the present seven-million-word mess of tax laws and regulations and replace it with a simple, fair, single-rate tax system with a generous personal exemption. This new system puts the individual, not the government, first...reflects our highest values...and rewards hard work, instead of punishing it.
