The Cruz plan does NOT include a VAT. Marco Rubio knows that. He makes the charge anyway.
Both Cruz & Rubio have no clue as to what the tax code even says, they only know the myths about it because all they know to do is apply myths, not the actual tax code as it is written.

“The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie— deliberate, contrived and dishonest— but the myth, persistent, persuasive and unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”
-John F. Kennedy
