Tax Reform for the Simple-Minded - Note to SC2

___Since you have been in the House for over 16 years, I hold you responsible for the tax code.

___I had to pay taxes on over $12000 of CODI for Linn Energy which then went bankrupt. My losses were over $60000 plus the tax paid on the CODI. Only $3000 offset my investment gains, and over $17,000 in losses were carried forward to be applied at $3000/year.

___If all deductions except mortgage interest and charitable deductions are dropped from the code, then you have raped me financially yet again!
