Now why would this “problem” IF true, bother someone who wants to get rid of the IRS?

Would a flat tax involve companies? I am unclear.

RE: Warren Buffet has yet to pay the taxes the IRS claims he owes. You know, Warren’s ‘fair share’.

He says he does not LEGALLY owe what the IRS claims he owes, that’s why he’s fighting it in court.

Of course, he doesn’t mind lecturing everyone about THEIR taxes and why the high income among them should pay MORE than their “fair” share.

Cruz is squeaky clean, so the only recourse is to attack everyone he knows.

OK, let’s say we abolish the IRS, who collects the taxes then?

In his opening statement for that hearing, then-subcommittee chair Sen. Carl Levin, a Michigan Democrat, said that Mercer’s business avoided paying more than $6 billion in taxes between 2000 and 2013.

Quoting Commie Sen. Carl Levin as if his rabidly-partisan statements constituted factual evidence?

Really?

Is Betsy Woodruff a credulous fool? The question answers itself.

That is just more Liberal garbage.

The existing tax system is what it is and lots of people make a living analyzing the kind of transaction structures that result in the lowest tax burden on any kind of income producing activity.

Lousy system?

Sure. Cruz is in the forefront of advocates that we should fix it.

But wrong for the guy who is already subject to an abusive wealth transfer government financial regime to do what he can to minimize the burden? Not in any real world.

Flatten the tax code and there won’t be any loopholes, dodgers or political influence to sell (the last part being why they’ll never flatten the tax code.)

There is no vice in arranging one’s affairs such that he pays as little in taxes as legally possible.

I think Jefferson said that.

And, I’ll add the corollary - there is no virtue in paying more taxes than you’re legally obligated to.

When Cruz says abolish the IRS, he intends to replace it with a streamlined agency that would be responsible for checking tax filing compliance and reporting revenues paid in. It certainly won’t be the 100,00 plus employee tyrannical agency we have now.
