Not a surprise. Ted Cruz is prepared.
Why not? It was written by the opposite side as those who wrote the Bible.
The Tax Code has been a political weapon and tool for Washington for too long. Combine that with Obama’s IRS, and you have an excellent election tool for the Repub candidate. Just ANOTHER reason we need a fighter like Trump or Cruz. Time to clean house FOR THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

Some passages in the Bible are hard to understand, but it helps if you have studied the language that book was written in and can read the original text. The tax code was written in English, but no matter how many other languages you know, a lot of it is still unintelligible.

Really? They really had to fact check this?
They had to fact check this? Jeez.
What if it was hyperbole? Would that disqualify Cruz?
To all Republican candidates for the Presidency:
"Ideas have consequences."- Weaver
The only path to making America "great again" begins and ends with understanding of, and adherence to, the ideas and principles underlying the Constitution of the United States of America, as they were explained in the 35 essays of THE FEDERALIST, newspaper essays addressed directly to "the People" prior to ratification of that Constitution by the people in the states.-------------------------
"On every question of construction, let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, conform to the probable one in which it was passed."
— Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, June 12, 1823, The Complete Jefferson, p. 322.
"Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution. Let us not make it a blank paper by construction." Thomas Jefferson to W, Nicholas, 1803.
In his own 1801 Inaugural Address, after listing what he called the "essential principles" to guide his Administration, Jefferson added:
"These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation. The wisdom of our sages and blood of our heroes have been devoted to their attainment. They should be the creed of our political faith, the text of civic instruction, the touchstone by which to try the services of those we trust; and should we wander from them in moments of error or of alarm, let us hasten to retrace our steps and to regain the road which alone leads to peace, liberty, and safety." - Thomas Jefferson, First Inaugural, 1801
We might contrast Jefferson's understanding with today's Democrat Party "progressive" policies which, in effect, undo all the monumental work accomplished by the Founders on behalf of liberty and leave the law afloat and without anchor, relying, as of old, on mere men and women.
btw the people at politifact have never read the Bible
that IS their bible in Washington.
Even if Cruz's sCruz VAT tax was passed into law not one word of the former tax code would be eliminated. In fact the sCruz VAT tax would actually be adding words to the existing tax code. It works the same for all written laws...Too bad Cruz is so ignorant of how laws are written.
Most of the "words" in the existing tax code are references to the former code so those "words" in the former code still exist, always will and the same would be true of the sCruz VAT tax code.
And, some people have actually read the Bible
Politifact is so cute. At least their helping the LIV who are unfamiliar with either the Bible or the disaster that is the IRS tax code.
I like Cruz better all the time, and I started out liking him. He is doing great.
And I believe Cruz was just referring to the tax code itself. Not the associated regulations, which may be as long (if not much longer) than the code.
And I’ll bet that “Jesus” is nowhere to be found in the Tax Code.
But many taxpayers do utter His Name, in vain.
and almost exciting as 1 and 2 Chronicles
So does an ARM Cortex manual.
I think someone missed the point about the IRS issue....
