Sorry, Republicans, Ted Cruz is Lying About Abolishing the IRS

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...

No similarity at all. But here you geaux- Donald J. TRUMP.

[beandog]

He’s only called “Lying’Ted” by the liar tRump and his equally lying supporters.

“Why do I feel BFAC is some fat-ass white dude in his mom’s basement?”

I have no doubt you are correct.

Thanks, FRiend and fellow Cruzer.

I saw a link on Mark Levin’s Facebook to this article which is excellent and amazing. It shows *exactly* what we’re up against:

Nope, it wouldn't. For one thing, the subtraction value VAT, while it adds tax nominally at each point in the valuation, is also subtracted by the payer. That means that if I buy a product with a VAT and then sell it, I don't have to pass the already added part of the VAT along, because I'm allowed to subtract that part already paid by me to someone else. The net effect is that the rate is 16% from start-to-finish.

That would be 24% lower than the current corporate income tax, so it's very hard to see how prices would increase. It's also very hard to cheat that kind of a tax by offshoring. You have to pay it where the sale occurs, not where you park a headquarters building.

How does a draft dodger get so many medals?

[rineaux]

Okay, as long as you've convinced yourself. Good luck with that.

Cruz said in the debate last night the Dept of Treasury would receive the cards and handle it.

Cruz said this a little bit after Trump said Rubio’s amnesty bill was the right thing to do.

[rineaux]

Good question.

Ask Trump as he will be the next Commander and Chief.

[FredZarguna]

The heads of Banana Republics — especially those who’ve never served — like lots of military bling.

Thank you, too (your post #65).

She claims she is in the Army....yet posts all day long, every day, week after week. How is she able to do that without getting into a bit of trouble with her superiors, (if she really has any....)? When questioned on it, she responds with Bible Verses.

[Rashputin]

Splitting hairs ? No, just another way of saying, "yeah, but . . ." or "so what" every time Cruz gets caught tripping over his tongue and especially over Cruz not accomplishing a thing in the Senate except getting himself face time in the media to help with the Presidential campaign he's been planning since he walked in the Senate door.

Funny how the Cruz camp doesn't apply that same attitude to Trump.

[rineaux]

We are not there but certainly heading towards it if we don't do something drastic. The same same but different clowns are not helping.

I side with these guys.

[SkyDancer]

Maybe some large office with those old type IBM machines with holes in the cards that are sent to you and you just punched out whatever is needed and send back?

[SkyDancer]

Or it’s just taken from your paycheck and that’s it?

Explains the desperate need of the Trumpettes to block out the truth:
