It's America's favorite pander. Pledging to abolish the Internal Revenue Service is only slightly less attractive than promising unlimited, consequence-free sex with the partners of our choice. Nobody likes the IRS, and eliminating it entirely will surely resolve many, many sleepless nights for too many Americans, especially at this time of year.
So, it's no wonder why Ted Cruz is promising to abolish the IRS. It's such a crucial aspect of his platform that he mentioned it twice during his Super Tuesday victory speech in Texas because, for middle-aged Republican voters, it's way better fapping material than naked pics of Sarah Palin. And Ted Cruz, with his skeevy face and Glengarry salesman mendacity, has no choice but to roll out the big guns in order to compensate for his unprecedented repulsiveness -- booger mishap and all.
Too bad it's a pipe dream.
During various Cruz stump speeches and television spots, the loathsome senator with his punch-me face can be heard to pledge three things related to taxes:
1) A 10 percent flat-tax. 2) Tax returns filed on postcard-sized forms. 3) No more IRS.
The question that ought to immediately spring to mind for anyone paying attention is this: Where the hell do we send our postcard-sized tax returns if the IRS doesn't exist any more? I've asked this question repeatedly on the Bob & Chez Show as well as throughout social media, and not a single Cruz supporter has bothered to answer.
Consequently, I did some digging myself and discovered the truth.
Ted Cruz absolutely doesn't plan to abolish the IRS after all. Instead, Cruz intends to shrink the size of the agency. How do we know this? Cruz's campaign website...

if the US has an income tax...
..and there is no IRS
who exactly defines what ‘income’ is?
Cruz took Trump’s statement that he wouldn’t let the poorest of the poor “die in the streets” and turned it into “single-payer socialized healthcare for every American.” And Ben Shapiro and Andrew Klavan and a lot of CReepers have repeated that lie again and again.
Money envy? Get serious.
But, then, it is easy to see why you are attracted to Trump...
Sad, really...

Sorry, I just had a malfunction.

Oh, I thought it was your Rubio impersonation.
Hey, no foam parties for this bot! :-)
This place has become a freaking cesspool...
Hey, it is not difficult to recognize the 'Bell curve' recipients acting all superior... Look at the mess the 'Bell curvers' have made of this country. Chrissy Matthews gloated back when Obama won that, Obama took the majority of the under 40 college educated. This nation is in dire need of common sense intellect. Of which Cruz displays NONE.
How the heck would one collect the money to support our military without some agency like the IRS. For those who like the flat tax or fair tax, you would still need some kind of collection agency. For example what is the difference between God and Allah? OK, great, now lets change the name of the IRS and we will all like it better???
Yep, he said a small group of people under the Treasury deparment to collect.
He didn't say anything about an enforcement arm.
If people don't pay, what does Grandpa Muenster plan to do about that?
The sound bite about a 'postcard' is so stupid, it's laughable. What is this, the 1970's Ted? Ever hear of something called the Internet? Hell, if if were that simple, you could do your taxes on your smart phone with an app.
Although the app would have to be developed by the government at a cost of $900 million dollars so there is that.

How embarrassing for you.
There’s a huge difference in being embarrassed and being disappointed.
How do you tell Cruz to stop sending you emails? I get them all the time and I haven’t supported him.
I don’t know, maybe to assumptions are being made.
One that the tax will be simple and most people will honestly pay it.
Two, that there are at least two possibly three agencies in D.C. who could do it.
I might ask how did they enforce before the Irs
