Please explain what magical quality a "flat tax" has that the current seven tax bracket scheme does not.
There is no reason why a seven tax bracket scheme could not be filled out on a postcard. Do you know why we can't?
Think about it.
No, really. THINK about it. I know it hurts for some of you to think, but give it a try for once in your lives.
Cruz is either stupid...or evil. Which is it?
"Abolish the IRS" is for rubes who have the intellectual bandwidth of a bumper sticker.
Why dont you tell us, genius.
Do you really think the only benefit of a flat tax is the ability to fill it out on a card? Seriously?
That's how Cruz sells it. And he is wrong. Utterly wrong. Anyone who believes a "flat tax" will magically lead to filling out your taxes on a postcard and the abolition of the IRS is about as stupid as it gets.
That you believe it is an actual benefit that will result from a flat tax identifies you as a rube. Not only is it not "the only benefit", it is not a resulting benefit at all.
This means Cruz is either willfully lying and misleading rubes like you, which makes him evil, or he is about as stupid as it gets.
I normally refrain from dichotomies, but I see no third option.
