From Senator Bill Nelson

Dear Mr. Mathews:

Thank you for contacting me regarding the Fair Tax Act, which would eliminate the Internal Revenue Service and enact a national sales tax.

Congress is considering a number of proposals to simplify our tax system. I have supported past efforts to change the tax structure, including eliminating the marriage penalty and the estate tax. I'm open to new ideas that reduce the burden on taxpayers.

I'll keep your ideas in mind whenever the Senate debates measures that would reform the tax system.
