Sorry, Republicans, Ted Cruz is Lying About Abolishing the IRS
The Daily Banter ^ | 3/4/2016 | BOB CESCA

Posted on 03/04/2016 3:21:31 PM PST by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

It's America's favorite pander. Pledging to abolish the Internal Revenue Service is only slightly less attractive than promising unlimited, consequence-free sex with the partners of our choice. Nobody likes the IRS, and eliminating it entirely will surely resolve many, many sleepless nights for too many Americans, especially at this time of year.

So, it's no wonder why Ted Cruz is promising to abolish the IRS. It's such a crucial aspect of his platform that he mentioned it twice during his Super Tuesday victory speech in Texas because, for middle-aged Republican voters, it's way better fapping material than naked pics of Sarah Palin. And Ted Cruz, with his skeevy face and Glengarry salesman mendacity, has no choice but to roll out the big guns in order to compensate for his unprecedented repulsiveness -- booger mishap and all.

Too bad it's a pipe dream.

During various Cruz stump speeches and television spots, the loathsome senator with his punch-me face can be heard to pledge three things related to taxes:

1) A 10 percent flat-tax. 2) Tax returns filed on postcard-sized forms. 3) No more IRS.

The question that ought to immediately spring to mind for anyone paying attention is this: Where the hell do we send our postcard-sized tax returns if the IRS doesn't exist any more? I've asked this question repeatedly on the Bob & Chez Show as well as throughout social media, and not a single Cruz supporter has bothered to answer.

Consequently, I did some digging myself and discovered the truth.

Ted Cruz absolutely doesn't plan to abolish the IRS after all. Instead, Cruz intends to shrink the size of the agency. How do we know this? Cruz's campaign website...

Once again, splitting hairs. If the IRS doesn’t disappear in lieu of some office front, it will be so severely eviscerated, it might as well be. That’s Cruz’s point. Both side play elementary school games with what the other side is saying. Enough already.

Absolutely true, and just another area where Ted shows his ignorance of business and taxation. As long as there is taxable income to be determined and taxes to be submitted to the federal government, there will be a federal tax collection agency.

Ted will not be abolishing the IRS.

Exactly the sort of non-rational analysis, throwing crap, crap, that the DU’s use.

You are pathetic.

Here we have a post from somebody's $5 blog that offers up the following subtitle:

"The booger-eating skeezoid has no intention of abolishing the IRS..."

I think the bias is showing.

He was asked that at the debate.... not that Trump supporters were paying to close attention.

Under his plan the Tax returns get sent to Department of Treasury. You return the power back to the department that originally had it.

Are YOUR boogers white? If so, you have boogers unlike any I have ever seen. Whatever that is (and I have been told it is the remains of mint lozenge) it isn’t a ‘booger’.

the IRS is DC’s Gestapo and was engineered to be used exclusively to whip and control the American people

Do you mean that Teddy Bare plays fast and loose with the truth? Do you mean that Bible waving Teddy Bare will dishonor himself by "prevaricating"? Or, do you mean that Teddy Bare is a lying, smarmy lawyer....?

D. All of the above...

“hope you have your double thick asbestos suit on”

Don’t worry BFAC, we’ve got your back! I’d like one of the Cruzers to explain to us all why this isn’t a lie! Now they can flame away at the both of us!

Yeah and everyone including me thought Reagan or Kemp or whomever could not get across the board income tax rates slashed with a Democrat majority Congress. Then guess what that Congress passed such a bill. If the spirit of the times is to do away with the IRS, it will happen. The government will still collect revenue, but hopefully less intrusivelu.

Kind of like Trump’s promises about the wall and visa reform and a half dozen other promises. I guess we’ll see.

Today I received another unwanted email from “Team Cruz” (although I’ve told them a dozen times to stop) - this one is another fraudulent document, purported to be a “Trump University Diploma”.

I hope Trump sues him back to Texas!

So Cruz really means “shrinking” the IRS...

Isn’t that exactly what Trump said about many government agencies when he was explaining how his economic plan would work???
