Senator Ted Cruz offered a solution to the IRS’s scandal: get rid of the agency entirely and simplify the tax code so that tax returns fit on a piece of paper the size of a postcard.

“We ought to abolish the IRS and instead move to a simple flat tax,” Cruz said on Fox News over the weekend.

You can’t get there in one step and this scandal isn’t big enough for that much change. They still control the minds of a sizeable minority/majority via government schools and the media.

If just 5% of what’s discussed on FR regarding the purpose of government, basic economics, basic science and our Constitution were taught in government schools we’d not be where we are today. Obama, Clinton, Carter et. al. would have been laughed out of elections.

It’s going to be a long road back and we need to control the Congress for a generation or two worth of Cruz’s.

Yup. And we're going to have to go right to the lowest levels and take control of the schools on up.
