That’s the best you’ve got?
Telling me to google a phrase that leads to the Cruz websites and quotes where Cruz falsly accuses Dewhurst of proposing a tax on your earnings?
You know, and Cruz knows, Dewhurst did no such thing.
In the AP story Cruz likes to quote, or rather repeat the misquote, Dewhurst was talking about reforming the state’s business tax, which is not based on income and requires businesses companies to pay taxes even when they are losing money. Nothing to do with any income or wage tax.
Even Austin’s Statesman says in its May 14 edition “Cruz has falsely implied that Dewhurst supported a personal income tax,”
You, sir, are running false ads on behalf of Cruz, and because conservative Texans recognize false attacks on their conservative Lt. Governor Dewhurst, Cruz will not cruise, Cruz will lose.
You & Dewhurst might be advocates of coming in the back way to extract taxes thinking folks won’t recognize what’s being done to them. But any woman will tell you that whether you’re raped from the front or the back, it’s still rape. You can’t hide the fact that it’s rape by coming in the back way. Nobody’s fooled!
If an employee’s employer has a new tax levied on the employee’s wages, it’s still a tax. And it’s a tax that will come from money that might otherwise have gone (now or in the future) directly to the employee—it’s a cost of employing that employee.
Vote Tea Party! Vote Ted Cruz.
PS — ngat, you must be beginning to feel that sinking feeling of impending doom that the Lugarites began to feel in the couple of weeks leading up to the Indiana primary. I can almost feel the tension coming through your posts.
