Ted Cruz calls for liquidating the IRS in New Hampshire

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the Internal Revenue Service, and he said the Affordable Care Act and Common Core curriculum standards should be repealed.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,

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Ted Cruz calls for liquidating the IRS in New Hampshire

**************

Let’s not show partiality but push for this nationwide.

Cruz is my top choice. I trust both him and Walker of taxation and spending issues. I trust Cruz on Amnesty, but Walker worries me. I trust both on international relations.

On the flip side, we have Jeb Bush, Cristie, Romney, Rubio, and other RINOs whom I don’t trust at all (except Bush who has promised to betray America on almost every issue, and I’m firmly convinced he is truthful).

[MeshugeMikey]

who writes these dippy headlines??

ALL 57 States or Nothing At All!!

[American in Israel]

Please put me on the Ted list.

[demshateGod]

If Cruz wants the IRS liquidated, it’ll be up to the states to unilaterally nullify it.

[Ingtar]

Why only New Hampshire? Why not the other 56 plus states?

It just floors me that folks think Cruz is TOO radical, TOO conservative.

Man, this guyz got hero status here in Texas.

The only downside to Cruz running for president, is it will leave open a Senate seat.

Besides my vote for Ronald Reagan, casting my vote for Ted Cruz was the best one I’ve ever cast.

I pray his message of conservatism reverberates through this country and I pray whoever becomes his running mate will be similarly strong.

Are you serious?

[TADSLOS]

LMAO. Reportering is hard work!

[C. Edmund Wright]

Why only New Hampshire?

Are you kidding? Or do you really not get it?

[Ingtar]

Reacting to the wording of the headline.

[PROCON]

Hurry up and do it Ted, I owe this year.

[C. Edmund Wright]

well good....you had me worried for a second.....

[TheZMan]

He has my vote ... which of course means we’ll end up with Bush or Christie in the end.

IRS >> 98,000 employees.
Tax code >> 74,000 pages.

Add in the attorneys and accountants who are employed by the private sector.

There would be a tremendous savings across the board.
