Hello, everyone! Thanks for participating in “Ask the White House” today. I always enjoy these e-conversations, but I know that this week isn’t the most enjoyable time of year for taxpayers. Americans don’t like Tax Day, and they don’t like it even more when taxes are too high. I think that’s normal, it’s part of our national character. The good news is that Tax Day hasn’t been quite as gloomy since the President’s tax relief took effect. Lower taxes have meant more bearable Tax Days. I hope we can talk about that a little later today; for now, let’s get started.
