Heard a fellow on the radio this morning that suggested 10 members of the US Congress be selected at random and forced to figure their own taxes.

Any Senator or Representative that made a mistake was to be immediately executed.

He guaranteed that the tax code would be simplified by next April 15th. Sounds like it would work to me.

AT RANDOM!???

That's discrimination! What about affirmative action? How can all the minority groups be assured they are properly represented?

Obviously the fellow on the radio has not thought this thing all the way through!

Actaully, this is the seed of a really good idea. Get your congressman and Senators on record. Do they figure their own taxes, yes or no?

Works for me too.
We just need a catchy name for it. I am serious!

THE ULTIMATE FAIR TAX
