In 1984 Lee Harder had the privilege of delivering 400,000 petitions calling for a 10% Flat Tax to the Treasury Department to Ronald Reagan's Treasury secretary Donald Regan. This led Donald Regan to begin a study on tax reform which led to the 1986 Tax Reform Bill. This bill helped to simplify tax forms and lower taxes for taxpayers.
