Don’t you find it strange, EV, that Cruz is a FairTax co-sponsor, and he is not promoting it?Cruz is only a social conservative. Beyond that he's as much a RINO/liberal as the rest of DC Republicans.What do you suppose is up with that?
It's obvious his crony capitalist donors wrote his haphazard tax plan on cocktail napkins. His/their eliminated corporate taxes would be paid for off the backs of small business and their employees.
There is no defined profit in his plan, it's all taxable. A business owners earnings as well as employee's earings would be taxed 16% as a "business tax" and then taxed 10% again as individual.
His plan is a small business and jobs killer.
You know how I feel about the Fairtax...I'd take it over Cruz's plan in a heartbeat.
Ted Cruz is a fraud.
You know, Lewis, I never thought I’d agree with you, ever!
HST, your points are well made, and I agree with you.
Cruz has not thought his “plan” through, and for whatever reason, he has not promoted the FairTax, even though he has been a co-sponsor since March 10, 2015!
Pretty obvious he has not done his homework on FairTax!
We will never be a truly free people so long as we have ANY FORM OF INCOME TAX!
AND,
We will never be a truly free people so long as we have an INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE!
The simple truth is that ALL FORMS OF INCOME TAX REQUIRE AN ENFORCEMENT ARM!
FairTax does not — the federal government will monitor the 50 state sales tax collection agencies, and individual Americans will NEVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH A FEDERAL TAX COLLECTOR!
Business owners will be required to keep pretty much the same records they keep today, and they will get paid for their administrative effort, as will the individual states.
What is not to like about FairTax, Senator Cruz? If you really want to abolish the IRS, the FairTax is the ONLY means to do so!
