DES MOINES, Iowa - GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 97% said with the flat tax plan that he supports, the IRS can be abolished, and America can put those 90,000 IRS employees to work down at the Southern Border. "We need to padlock that building. Take all 90,000 and move them down on the southern border," Cruz said of the employees currently working at the IRS building. "Imagine if you traveled thousands of miles in the blazing sun, youâre swimming across the Rio Grande, and the first thing you see is 90,000 IRS agents; you'd turn around and go home, too!" Cruz addressed Iowa voters at the Iowa GOP Growth and Opportunity Party event at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa, Saturday, along with nine other GOP presidential candidates. He said he believes in the simple flat tax. "The simple flat tax says for every American-every individual, a family of four-the first $36,000 of income you earn, you pay zero," he explained. "All taxes on the first $36,000 are zero," he repeated. "Above $36,000 dollars, everyone pays a simple flat tax of 10 percent." "It's simple, and it's fair," he added, stating that more words are in the IRS tax code than in the Bible.

I believe that the IRS became a joke long before Ted Cruz ever mentioned them.
I’ll run naked thru a tick and chigger infested field when the IRS is eliminated....
You believe correctly......
No they are not.
It’s honest work and if they imagine themselves to be “above real labor” they can quit or be fired for cause.
Well now, I DO like the sound of that..!!
He got audited one year by the IRS....
The agent was a decent guy, He asked where my dad's records were...my dad pointed up to the attic. It was summer...in SoCal..and hot.
The agent went to the bathroom once...and my dad asked him if he did number one or number two..And if he did number two..how many squares of toilet paper did he use. The agent said why do you want to know that? Dad said...so I can write it off.
When all was said and done...the agent and my dad were friends...and my dad owed something like $500 bucks...and the agent told my dad...it probably cost $4k to audit him.
The agent ended up being my dad's tax guy after he quit the IRS......
Was my tax guy too...for a few years!!
Better yet, just deport them!
Put those IRS people mixing cement, hauling rocks, building “THE WALL” that Trump wants. When that happens those ex-IRS folks will finally become productive society.
The man is the only true conservative choice.
Send these agents to the states and have them clean up Medicare/Medicaid fraud. That would be a great use of gov’t resources.
Then they can all retire.
Cruz it or lose it.
I will run naked thru a tick and chigger infested field when the IRS is eliminated....
Much smaller border, even taking into account coastline.
The borders of Belize total about 225 miles.
No income tax, period.
Sales tax only.
Period. Full stop. End of subject.
Whatever it takes to remove all weight and power of the Federal Government from off the backs of everyday Americans. Something that shouldn't have ever been allowed to happen in the first place, IMO.
Recommend states collect and forward the Feds share - not our businesses.
, Put 90,000 IRS Agents to Work at Southern Border,He could put them to work handing out his 10 million green cards and 5 fold H1B visas...someone's gotta do it.
I really don’t want all those nasty IRS people in my state, border or not.
Can we build a second fence just inside the first and use ‘em as a buffer between the two?
I’ve long felt that every politician and bureauRat should be forced to wear a target on their back at least one day a week.
There aren’t 90,000 armed, IRS agents.......
The Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that as of September 2008, federal agencies employed approximately 120,348 full-time law enforcement officers â all of whom were authorized to make arrests and carry firearms. The majority of those agents were employed by the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Justice.
Most of those referred to as agents, are civilian investigators/auditors. However, if all of them were sent to the border with nothing more than a Swiss Army knife and tasked with taking down drug runners and they got hurt in the process....oh well!!!! That’s what you get for f*cking taxpayers whenever you can.
I would think that’s accomplished because the people of Belize actually give a sh*t about their country. And they don’t have La Raza getting invited to what ever they call their white house, to discuss allowing more illegals into their country.
