Tax Reform: Tell Senator Wyden what you think.

Nobody likes paying taxes, that's for sure.  But taxes are the price we pay for living in this great country.  Taxes are the way that we share the burden of paying for the things that we-the-people believe make our country a better place.

But taxes shouldn't be unfair.  And they shouldn't be complicated.  

It shouldn't take an army of experts to understand and fill out a tax form. 

Senator Wyden's plan does three things: 

#1. Ensure that all Americans can fill out a one-page tax form, without expert help. 

#2. Slash six tax brackets to three, and wipe out a bunch of special-interest loopholes, exclusions, exemptions, deductions, deferrals, and credits.

#3. End the Paris Hilton Effect.  Let's treat wages from work and income from investments the same.

Let's start a conversation about making taxes flat, fair, and simple.
