He’s establishment. The more you pay attention to what he says AND doesn’t say, the more obvious it becomes, to the point of it smacking you in the face. Look at what he said yesterday, when talking about bringing jobs back to the US:
“My flat tax plan is what’s called border adjustable which means all exports are tax free, all imports pay that tax,” Cruz said. “What that means is we will see millions of jobs from overseas from China and Mexico, coming back to America, coming back to Missouri, coming back to Illinois. We will rebuild the American middle class that has been hammered by seven years of failed Obama and Clinton economy.”
Nothing about NAFTA. Nothing about TPP. Tax cuts are great and all, but this notion that changing taxes is going to fix everything about how jobs have been shipped out of this country is ridiculous. And notice how he doesn’t say anything at all about Republicans having also supported the disastrous job-destroying policies of the past? That’s because he also supports those policies.
He’s a globalist who distracts people with lots of fancy talk and grandstanding. Substantively, he is for open borders and the destruction of the middle class.
If you look at Cruzs campaign prior to Trump is was a TYPICAL GOPe talking points campaign.
He is also in favor of a Value Added Tax, (called VAT in Europe), which is a federal sales tax on everything you buy or sell. This VAT will be used to tax Internet purchases.
