Both plans would lead to a decline in public-sector jobs

Good. I'd also like to see public sector labor unions outlawed.

Do you just spam threads Trump bashing, or do you participate in them?

Cruz has tacked on a 16% tariff on all imports while criticizing Trump’s suggestion of tariff on foreign made goods...But Cruz calls his a tax...He must have learned that from John Roberts...

At this point, all these tax plans are just suggestions.

When Congress gets done with them, there’s no telling what we’ll end up with.

“Of the two proposals that we have examined so far, those by Trump and Cruz, we find the Cruz proposal to be the better of the two,” said David Tuerck, executive director of the Beacon Hill Institute and senior fellow at the National Center for Policy Analysis.

What must be accomplished in our legislative bodies to implement a new tax plan?

What tweaks to either plan will change their position? That is, how malleable are the plans for adjustment or change?

At this planning and proposing stage, any proposed tax plan can be "adjusted" to be the "best." It seems gratuitous to favor one over another at this early stage.

I believe Trump's plan is a multi phase approach.

Premise: The Flat Tax and Fair Tax proposals have been discussed for 20 years. Apparently, the idea is so radical that every time it's brought up it never goes anywhere. We know this, and Trump knows thist. So why would propose either one again and expect different results? According to Einstein, that would be insane.

Instead adopt a three phase tax simplification plan.

Phase One - Flatten and simplify existing tax.code... clean up the mess and fire some tax lawyers. a side benefit would be the reduction of tax experts and lawyers required to file tax returns and thus reducing costs to businesses and individuals..Yay! We're saving some money! Cool!

Phase Two - Propose a Flat Tax (or Fair Tax)

Phase Three - Let the legislators argue which one is preferable based on the voters' preference, and repeal existing tax code and implement the new plan in its place.

Phase Four - Eliminate 95% of IRS personnel. Yay! We save more money!

Except Cruz requires the total disbanding of the IRS. Let’s see a show of hands by those who think THAT has a prayer of happening.

Did you get in the part about Cruz's VAT - the most regressive tax known to man - stick the taxes on the low income pensioners first?

Thought not you Cruz frauds.

Cruz’s plan would increase real gross domestic product (GDP) in 2026 by about 8 percent

"if that line don't fetch them, I don't know Arkansaw!" [Mark Twain - Huckleberry Finn - if anyone reads it any more].

Complete and utter horse manure.

Ted has almost zero chance of putting his plan into law. That is the difference.

Combining Trump’s tax proposed tax plan with his proposed healthcare plan-—https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/healthcare-reform-— especially points 5 & 7, the nation could have an economic renaissance not seen for decades. His healthcare plan alone could save between $600-800 billion dollars per YEAR in Federal healthcare related spending as the plan could drop medical spending in the US by 80%——http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231180

Psssst—don’t mention that to the supporters of the grand poobah! They will curse you up one side and down the other-—just like Obama supporters

As a recent small business owner of 17 years I can tell you Ted’s plan would not have been good for me and Trump’s would have.

This is the difference between a person who has no business experience trying to formulate a tax plan and one who has extensive business experience. There is no comparison.
