Democratic Leaders Call on President Bush to Address Tax Simplification NowWashington, D.C. -- House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following letter today from House Democratic leaders to President Bush on the need to act now on tax simplification. The President is meeting with his advisors today on the economy. Text of the letter follows: December 15, 2004 President George W. Bush The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, D.C. 20500
Dear Mr. President, As we approach a new session of Congress, Democrats and Republicans agree that we must reform the tax code now. Recent statements by Administration officials indicate that you may postpone the appointment of a tax reform advisory panel and may delay sending Congress a proposal until 2006. We are writing to encourage you to act now so that tax reform can move us toward a system that is more fair, less complex, and that adequately funds the budget without perennial deficits. Democrats are committed to the following principles:
We look forward to working with you on a bipartisan basis to simplify the tax code for all Americans. Together, we can create a tax system that reflects common values and creates a more vibrant economy. Thank you for your attention to our concerns.
Sincerely,
Nancy Pelosi Democratic Leader
