Ted Cruz has admitted he doesn't even tithe. Which shocked me when I first read that because how he portrays himself as such a good Christian.
Any successful Christian understands the importance of tithing. He is exactly as you wrote.

ToastTED doesn’t give tithes.
He’s destined to TAKE them dont you know.
The actual New Testament says to give as purposed in one’s heart (besides it is lousy theology to call any system of Christian giving equivalent to the unique tithe system which would be something more like a Christmas club savings account used to throw an extravagant annual party).
Has Ted given to others by some different system? Maybe we’d never see it, depending on how literally he takes the dictum of Jesus to keep it private. It might not even show up on his taxes.
And I don’t even think he’s living up to his faith very well in public right now, but I’m not going to jump for accusations for which there is really no solid proof.
Ted and the old man are not american or christian for that matter.
