One thing that could REALLY help Cruz is will he want to take on the most unloved of Federal agencies: the Internal Revenue Service.

Given the fact the current tax code is the #1 cause of political corruption in Washington, DC, can be used by the Federal government to punish or favor any taxpaying entity, and will now cost US$500 BILLION per year in compliance costs, phasing out the income tax in favor of something like FairTax (H.R. 25/S. 122) would be the biggest "return of the power to the people" since the American Revolution. And it would create the biggest economic boom in American history because we no longer tax the process of earning money.

Amen, brother!

The passage of the Sixteenth Amendment turned the government into a criminal enterprise - one need not wonder why it is populated by thieves, crooks and liars.

And would likely raise taxes on half the people in the country who pay little or no income tax currently. You expect all of them to line up and vote for that?
