His plan is far from perfect, I agree, but even having both the flat tax and the VAT would be better than having the IRS around. And that’s saying something about how bad the IRS is, because VATs are completely terrible due to how they are arbitrarily determined (this is also why land value taxation is terrible). The 10% flat tax plan on income is about as good as we’re going to get from politicians. Cruz likely wants to only implement one of them at a time.

The big reason the Trump plan is just unacceptably bad is because it keeps the IRS infrastructure intact, even if the rates themselves are lowered. A future liberal could always raise my taxes to 90% at the snap of a finger, whereas upon the destruction of the IRS it would take time to reestablish it.

We’ll probably never have a sane tax system until all non-military spending by the Feds is eliminated and the only taxation which exists is a small sales tax.

Post 101 I point out that the VAT is terrible, but still much better than the IRS.

Actually, I suspect Trumpsters realize he is the only one capable of beating Hillary, and this debate on words is ridiculous, when compared to the urgency of saving the Republic. The rest of these apologetic effeminate lightweights are already in Hillary’s “Testicle Lockbox”.

I agree. The question to me is, who is the alpha male who has a thick enough skin, who can make change. Not a place-holder get along guy who does nothing.

As far as beating Hillary, the question to me is, who can beat Hillary like a rented mule? Day after day. Mercilessly. Until she doesn't want to get off the mat? Telling the truth about the Clintons?

Actually more offended that a lifelong DEMOCRAT gets any traction in a GOP primary.

I agree. We are stuck with the income tax until the 16th amendment is repealed. If it becomes a flat tax, that is good. Instituting a new form of taxation to go with it is not a good idea. The probable result is that both taxes will be raised to the point where we will be paying much more than we are already. Repeal the 16th and eliminate income tax before talking about a new type of tax to replace it.

A real class act.


Nothing says class like hundreds of thousands of dollars in anonymous money laundered donations Cruz has picked up.

It WAS wishy washy, very prevaricating by him.

Trump blew up the party with his answer.

I'm sorry, this is a problem with Cruz, he isn't really the leader all of you are saying he is. He's been drafting on the most important issues since Trump came in the race. He never leads on these things, just lets Trump move what's called the Overton Window, and when it's safe, he joins him.

Remember when Ted said at a debate, Trump's answer to muzzies would not be his policy? Do you remember when Ted was for expanding H1 Visas? Do you remember when he wasn't really against Anchor Babies? Do you remember when he wasn't so strident in his anti-illegal immigration positions?

I do. What this all means to me is he is somewhat timid, much like the Bush family, and if you want more of that timidity, go vote for him.

I wonder how Falwell Jr. and Palin feel about endorsing him now. Would Sarah like her son, Trig or her grandchildren to have been at that rally? Trump is degrading the highest office in the land with his profane and vile comments. Maybe Kanye West or Snoop Dog would make a great VP choice for “The Don”

Right back at you Slick.

You should tweet that line to Trump as a suggestion. What other verbal retorts impress you? Douche bag? Turd? Shit for brains? A-hole?

That Trump really is a master of the language, isn't he?

and he said “she could stay” and laughed about it. He made sure to repeat it in front of a large crowd and feigned admonition. Trump throws out protesters, hecklers but not a woman that fits his filthy style. If it wasn’t for low class, Trump would have NO class.

Donald rump is no warrior.
He is a self-serving reprobate who was a draft dodger when his country needed him.
He viciously tried to use his leverage with his paid off cronies in government to take an old widow’s house from her by imminent domain.
And he ran from a woman who asked him questions he didn’t like in a debate.
And he has the nerve to refer to Ted Cruz as a pussy?
Pathetic.

Looking at all the butt hurt here (is that too course?) seems Trump hit the bulls eye.
