Isakson's bill also creates a commission that would be required to examine and to recommend to Congress plausible replacements for the tax code.

President Bush did this last year, the commission gave President Bush and the rest of the working people of the U.S. the collective middle finger.

We all know that. It was a joke of the worst order of poor taste. We need something to get people up off their collective asses. Maybe Isakson's bill is it. IT CALLS FOR THE ABOLITION OF THE IRS FIRST. I'll bet if you go next door right now and ask your neighbor if he/she is in favor of it the answer would be in the affirmative.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws but I'm sick and tired of the lack of publicity and the stagnation of the whole thing.

If Isakson's politicking then let's call his bluff. I don't disagree with any of you that he's a career politcal (real estate salesman) hack.

"President Bush did this last year, the commission gave President Bush and the rest of the working people of the U.S. the collective middle finger."

Amen to that. When you look at the commission's interim report and compare it to their final report, it's like a total disconnect. It is obvious that the American people gave them an earful during the preliminary phases. It is just as obvious that the special interests weighed in before the final report and that they carried the day in the end.
