Idiots have a hard time keeping to the subject of the thread which is "Senator Ted Cruz doubles down on keeping the socialist income tax!"

Your effective (actual) federal tax is 6% to 8%, which is hardly an 'IRON FIST.'
What is iron fisted is Cruz's support of a socialist tax system which is used by folks in government to attack political foes and also used to silence free speech, not to mention how it is used to manipulate the economy and meddle in the private lives of the American People. Why Senator Cruz supports a tax upon profits, gains, salaries and other incomes contradicts his assertion that he wants to close down the IRS. If Cruz really wanted to close down the IRS he would support sending an amendment to the states as follows:
“SECTION 1. The Sixteenth Amendment is hereby repealed and Congress is henceforth forbidden to lay ``any`` tax or burden calculated from profits, gains, interest, salaries, wages, tips, inheritances or any other lawfully realized money.
"SECTION 2. This Amendment to the Constitution, when ratified by the required number of States, shall take effect no later than (?) years after the required number of States have ratified it.

“…..with all these blessings, what more is necessary to make us a happy and a prosperous people? Still one thing more, fellow-citizens—a wise and frugal Government, which shall restrain men from injuring one another, shall leave them otherwise free to regulate their own pursuits of industry and improvement and shall not take from the mouth of labor the bread it has earned. This is the sum of good government, and this is necessary to close the circle of our felicities“. Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural Address
