Brady: It's time we took back April 15th

Congressman Brady says let's kick the tax code to the curb
PRESS RELEASE
April 15, 2009
Washington, D.C. – Congressman Kevin Brady (R-Texas), a member of the House Ways & Means Committee, today called for an overhaul of America’s tax code. "Whether it is the Fair Tax or a flat tax, getting the IRS out of our daily lives and getting our families off the April 15th form filing treadmill should be our goal."
“Our tax code is like a 1978 AMC Pacer and I think we all can agree that it needs more than just a little tune-up,” said Brady, "it needs to be sent to the scrap heap with the Gremlins and Pintos. If President Obama's Cabinet appointees can't seem to figure it out, how can Congress expect Texas families and small businesses to?"
Congressman Brady is a co-sponsor of the Fair Tax (H.R. 25), a straightforward, growth-oriented replacement for our onerous tax code. The Fair Tax will eliminate all Federal income taxes and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), in favor of a 23 percent personal consumption tax on all new goods and services.
Noting that in 1910, Tax Freedom Day was on January 19th, almost a full three months earlier than this year, Brady added "we can and we must take back April 15th for our families and the FairTax can do that."
