I get email from Rep. Greg Walden. Me and everyone else.
Note that he claims a 4% growth rate in the economy with "fix" out tax problems.
Kind of optimistic, don't you think Greg?

For too long, hardworking taxpayers have struggled with an outdated tax code that is too complicated and takes away too much of your money for the government to spend. It penalizes success and is filled with lobbyist loopholes and special breaks for special interests.
It’s time to change all of that to a code that respects and rewards hard work, makes everyone play by the same rules, and lets you keep more of your hard-earned tax dollars. You shouldn’t need an army of lawyers and accountants to make sense of the law.
I have included a couple of links with more details about the proposal that was unveiled last week. The Ways and Means Committee in the House is working this week on the legislation that will come to the House floor before Thanksgiving.
While reform is never easy, and always subject to partisan hyperbole, we do know two important facts about this draft plan courtesy of the nonpartisan Tax Foundation analysis:
