Ted Cruz came to New Hampshire, but unlike other candidates who talked in Bushian generalities, he talked about his positions on the issues.
He won applause when he called for a flat tax and abolishing the Internal Revenue Service, and he said the Affordable Care Act and Common Core curriculum standards should be repealed.
He also said he wanted taxes simple enough so they could be done on a postcard. Do you hear other candidates talking this way? I don't. I don't think I've heard a single candidate call for abolishing the IRS, have you?
Senator Cruz has spoken at length about these issues in the past, and unlike other candidates, whose views have "evolved," "grown," or "mutated" right before running for president, Cruz has actually held these positions for greater than two years, even before he considered running for president.
With regard to the ethanol mandate, which makes both gasoline and food much more expensive, Cruz says he is flatly against it. When asked about Scott Walker's view, which is that Walker is
(a) for it in Iowa,
(b) against it in Wisconsin,
(c) and unclear on his views for ethanol in the other 48 states,
Cruz refused to attack his rival.
Cruz also said he didn't want any limits on campaign donations. The current system already has so many holes in it – for example, manpower donations by unions aren't counted as "donations," and slanted coverage by the liberal media is also not counted as donations – that it makes sense to allow everyone to get as involved as he or she wishes. The wealthy can already spend a lot to push their agenda with indirect spending to PACs; we might as well open up the system entirely, have full disclosure of donations,

You’ve been added to the Ted Cruz ping list!
I fed the numbers into the supercomputer here at the World Headquarters and Bunker Compound, and came up with a 0.013467% chance the IRS will be abolished by Cruz, or anyone.
There are so many people in influential positions living off the tax complexity.
Big Tax is similar to Big Education, unfortunately.
Why give the IRS any dumb idea? They already have enough of their own. I can see this postcard now.
How much did you earn this year?
Send it to us.
I’m for liquidating them ANYWHERE. But New Hampshire will do.
Just New Hampshire?
Editors, anyone?
“What about in the other 56 states?”
My thought exactly.
Cruz is really rolling. He is right on. I’m hoping we have a winner.
” There are so many people in influential positions living off the tax complexity.”
Why nothing will change.
The only downside to Cruz running for president, is it will leave open a Senate seat.”
And guess who will be first to run - old Dewdrop himself. For too many years we had two Rino Senators in Texas - Kay Bailey and Cornyn. At least we have one Conservative now. In spite of this, the USA would be a whole lot better off with Cruz at the helm.
I agree, but we have to start somewhere. He’s trying to do what the Marxists/democrats have done for decades.
Incrementalism.
What good would liquidating them in New Hampshire do?
They’d still be in the remaining 56 states...
Still, it’s a start.
Hey guys - I rather think it’s a case of bad writing again - obviously, you can’t abolish the IRS in separate states - I think the dumb editor thinks he’s conveying that Cruz calls for abolishing IRS, while SPEAKING in NH???
I support tax reform, but don’t support the flat tax. Every flat tax proposal I’ve seen would significantly increase my taxes, and my income is only about $65,000 a year.
Okay, Cruz just went down the pooper as far as I’m concerned. Any idiot that likes a flat tax is going to look like a complete fool when the details come out. Your grandma is blind and spends 85% of her earnings on medicine...now take away another “flat 22%” and leave her with a negative 7% income...yeah, this guy is a brain...not.
“American Thinker” needs an editor-—lousy header.

1) How much do you make?
2)If over... 5,000/ year... send in 100%...
3)If under 5,000/year...send in 98%
