A flat tax would need to be set at a high enough level to fund critical government programs, requiring a massive tax increase on the middle class and poor

...or respectable cuts in government spending.

What they don’t get is that it isn’t just optics. They can’t conceive of anyone actually meaning these things.

The leftist assaults begin. Beware of a new tactic they started last year. Many leftist activist organizations began registering and setting up organiztions with names that give the impression they are conservative when they are not. Newrepublic.com sounds like one such organization. All one has to do is look at their topics of discussion (”climate” is one of their main focuses)!and who they vote for and support and it becomes apparent. You’re going to see a lot of people fall for their deception. Just some forewarning...

Half way through this article, all I could think of was the adults on Charlie Brown making unintelligible sounds as I read.

Not in this case.

The New Republic is a liberal American magazine of commentary on politics and the arts published since 1914, with major influence on American political and cultural thinking. Founded in 1914 by major leaders of the Progressive Movement it attempted to find a balance between a progressivism focused on humanitarianism and moral passion, and on the other hand sought a basis in scientific analysis of social issues. It supported American entry into World War One, but discarded much of its naive faith in the possibility of a scientific liberalism. After the 1980s it incorporated elements of conservatism.[2] After undergoing a change of ownership and a crisis in 2014 that saw the resignation of many of its editors and writers, its publication was briefly suspended.

Idiocracy. We have Hector at the helm. I wish that film was sci fi and not a documentary.

"Implied throughout: Democrats are ruining America. Yet his actions are only making a Hillary Clinton presidency more likely."

Implied? I think not. Let's be expressly pointed: The RAT Party is bringing the Republic to ruination! Everyday, more people are awakening to this fact.

Does this make a Hillary coronation more likely? Doubtful. Besides being irretrievably linked to this regime in all its corruption, she has issues all her own that will continue to grow and haunt her. If anything the primary season opening so early may force her from the running and put that other idiot, Mallory into the status of RAT frontrunner. In either case, the RAT bench is pitifully thin and incredibly weak.

The race is any Republicans to lose. Of course they have formed a circular firing squad in the past, so nothing is assured. They are fully capable of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory and collectively falling on their swords like a bunch of JAP GENERALS ashamed at losing WWII.

And, why in hell would the middle and poor classes need
a tax increase? The flat tax INCLUDES ELIMINATION OF ALL
DEDUCTIONS. New Republic dimwitted writer can’t see that
the wealthy are not getting a break.

The same goes with abolishing the IRS. A Cruz government would eliminate the agency but it would still collect taxes—somehow. Cruz has never said how that would work. Would there be a new agency to replace the IRS? Would it have employees? Who, after all, would collect all those postcards? All unanswered questions.

The IRS has well over 100,000 employees and acts in a reckless corrupt manner. Like most fed agencies, it's too big and too costly with too much control. This isn't even debatable. It needs to be significantly reduced in size and scope or eliminated. I prefer eliminated by totally simplifying taxes based on income or what ever simplified system. Create a new agency of just 10,000 bureaucrats to collect the EZ simplified forms. That should be plenty of people to audit/examine and shake down people. If not too bad.

And if we can rid ourselves of massive expanding costly government and downsize it, they're will be a lot less money for government to collect. And more going to the working people for investments, saving, and building etc.

Cruz is the only candidate so far to take a hard line on border security. I believe this is what will propel him to the presidency. The American people are tired of being told they are racists for wanting secure borders.
