He wants a VAT, more H1B visas, and unlike Trump, isn't capable of getting black, Dem, and Indie votes. In order to be president, he needs to be VEEP first and that's what I hope he'll be.....Trump's VEEP.
“I used to be a BIG Cruz supporter, but he lost me.”
Same here. He never explained why we need a 500% increase in H1Bs or what he will do with the millions of illegals. His silence on both is deafening. It could be he’s beholden to donors.
Okay, what would be your proposal to lower income tax rates and eliminate the payroll tax, without completely bankrupting the country? There may be better ideas to be had, but at least he is making proposals that would accomplish the main goals of conservatives (lower rates, simplify the tax code, tax consumption rather than labor and investment).
...more H1B visas...
I am really tired of having this misrepresented so often. The only time Cruz proposed increasing H1B's was as an amendment to the Gang of 8 Amnesty bill. His intent was to discourage them from granting amnesty to the illegals here by making it easier for skilled workers to be able to immigrate legally. Once the Gang of 8 bill died (for which he was partially responsible), he has not proposed increasing the H1B's since.
In order to be president, he needs to be VEEP first
And I think in order to be President, Trump should have SOME experience in elective office first.
