Well, Senator Cruz speaks of a “flat tax” when he speaks to “liquidating” the IRS.

I sincerely hope he gets his facts and figures straight, because, the “flat tax” cannot and will not “liquidate” the IRS!

Before you comment on this issue, please educate yourself completely on what Senator Cruz position is on this issue.

If you'll watch a rerun of the Hannity show from last night you will find out that he actually stated that his first choice is the Fairtax, but that there was too much opposition to that type of sales tax right now so he was going to support the flat tax first, and a good middle of the road solution. He is not against the flat tax, he is for both, whichever would make it to his POTUS desk for his signature.

My point is that Senator Cruz must at all times be consistent with his comments and MUST NOT conflate the FairTax with the flat tax.

If you have any direct clout at all with him, please, please advise him to get a full and complete brief and commit to memory ALL of the FairTax talking points.

He also should hire a respected Ph.D. economist who supports the FairTax and has extensive experience in developing cogent FairTax arguments.

There are some VERY POWERFUL persons and groups opposed to the FairTax; primarily because they know full well that replacing the income tax with the FairTax and abolishing the IRS will end their ongoing and VERY lucrative gravy train!

WEll, I don’t watch Hannity. I read the article, and based my comment on it.

HST, I do not wish to get into a pissing contest with you.

If Senator Cruz wants to “morph” FRom a flat tax to the FairTax, I’d be OK with that.

But, I think he should keep beating the FairTax drum. If he becomes really knowledgeable about FairTax, he could sell it to the voters as a FReedom issue and as a super economic and jobs growth issue.

And that is the point of my last post — Senator Cruz has got to get his FairTax ducks in a row, and keep on promoting it.

I tried to find the Hannity/Cruz interview on the internet; unable to do so.

Any idea where I could find a video of the entire show?

Thanks in advance.
