Called facts and reality.

You are allergic to both.

If you can read which is doubtful you will see that Cruz’s tax plan calls for business’s to be taxed on “Gross receipts” Gross receipts is the total revenue your business takes in. Not profits.

So then you get to deduct out most business expenses but you have to pay a 16% tax on profits as well as wages. Wages are not money that go to the owner it goes to the employees. So now the business owner is paying 16% on wages and then the owner and the employees get to pay another 10% later on those wages when they file their individual tax returns. Cruz is abolishing the payroll tax and then making the business owner start paying the equivalent of a payroll tax. How hard is that for you to understand?

Dead Corpse reads just fine.

Your lies are insane.

I think it should have increased (very slightly) a few times in that time period. But the basic point is correct: this large group of people are treated unfairly because they are perceived as past their usefulness.

Read the AEI article. Just because he doesn’t call it VAT wins him no bonus points. A rose by any other name

Well don’t worry about it because even Congress has enough sense to never pass Teddy’s insane tax plan. LOL!

From Ted's webpage, it's calculated minus wages.

So, enough with the lies...

There is a difference between a VAT tax and a FLAT tax!

Cruz is for a FLAT tax.

Teddy is learning the age old lesson that cheaters never win.

I don't care what an article says.
