Cruz: Abolish The IRS...

[paulitician]

Amen Brutha! Time for change.


Republican Sen. Ted Cruz said Monday that Republicans should take advantage of their control of Congress to abolish the Internal Revenue Service.

“We need to pass fundamental tax reform making our tax code simpler, flatter, fairer,” he said Monday at Heritage Action’s 2015 conservative policy summit. ”And I’ll tell you, the single most important tax reform, we should abolish the IRS.”

“The last two years have fundamentally changed the dynamics of this debate [on the tax code],” he said. “As we have seen the weaponization of the IRS, as we have seen the Obama administration using the IRS in a partisan manner to punish it’s political enemies.”

“In my view there is a powerful populist instinct to take the 110,000 employees at the IRS, to padlock the building, and to put all 110,000 of them down on our southern border.”

Cruz quickly clarified that that remark was somewhat tongue in cheek, but joked that anyone who had traveled thousands of miles to cross the border and saw thousands of IRS agents in their way would definitely turn around and go home.

He acknowledged it’s not really possible to abolish the IRS or adopt a flat tax while Obama is in office, but said Republicans should take steps in that direction by doing whatever they can to simplify the tax code and make its burden lighter and reduce the power of Washington.

Republicans will get “walloped” in 2016 if they return to business as usual while controlling Congress, he said, and urged leadership to take on a bold agenda.

Every citizen in the country should get behind this, I don't care if you're left, right, sideways or upside down.

We need to start CUTTING this over bloated Government down to size, they are becoming so big they now believe they are, OUR MASTERS.

and when they are done with the IRS, they can go after the EPA, NEA, etc etc or at least start putting a LEASH on them

Good luck with that. Of course you'll need to have the votes to override the President's veto, which you don't of course.

He's a nutjob, who can't get elected nationally, especially after they find out about the extreme racism of his father. He is Canadian toast.

So what is your solution for collecting taxes if you abolish the IRS?

How about a simple sales tax with no tax on food. That way you have your fast-food employee making $8/hr who can go to the grocery store and pay his taxes in proportion to his income and when Larry Ellison gets the itch for his next America's Cup yacht racer, he will pay more in taxes than the fast food worker can make in a lifetime at McDonald's.
Make sense?

Problem is Larry Ellison may get bored and stop buying yachts. There's only so many Masserati's and haircuts Larry Ellison can buy.

I like him. He's a leader. Wish the Party would dump milquetoast wankers like Boehner & McConnell and go with like-minded people like Cruz instead.

Cruz is Sarah Palin in pants. But at least he's smart enough to know not to make noises about running for POTUS, and figures he can reap the rewards without all the derision.

Gee, a conservative arguing for a flat tax that favors the rich. How did know that was coming?

That was exactly Carville's point in the other thread on Cruz.

The GOP is what it is today because of pussy ass-kissers like B and McC. It's your platform. Go stand on it and be quiet.

As most of you know, I support a simpler tax code 100 percent. One that has ZERO carve-outs, exemptions, deductions, credits, what-have-you.

A level playing field. People earning identical incomes should be paying identical taxes. It is insanity they currently are not. It's as bogus as it gets. One man's exemption comes out of another man's pocket. It's robbery. It's wealth redistribution. Put simply, it is socialism.

Rafael "Blind Squirrel" Cruz has found a nut I can eat.
