Nothing is going to be perfect, but something has to be said for honest people wanting to support the system. Taxation has devolved into a silly game.

What Cruz really means is to make the taxation system so simple that you do not need a swelled body of bureaucrats to oversee the details. And especially not something like Obamacare.

As long as there were taxes, there would always be something having the function of the IRS, even if it was subsumed into the Treasury Department.

The government abused it, the government should lose it.

That is all there is to it, and it should lose every over agency that it has abused America with.

Obviously Tom McCay is racist and anti-Latino.

The movement began in the early 20th century with Caesar subsuming the role of private charity with “Social Security.”

The cute little puppy has morphed into a huge wolf.

Tom McKay needs to be audited and I’ll bet he’ll change his tune.

The IRS "generates" revenue? Right. I sort of stopped paying attention at that point - nothing the author has to say after that is worth the effort.

This topic does rather nicely show the dismay of the ruling class that anyone might dare to defund "their" government. What's the point in clawing one's way to the top of the heap if the little people underneath think they can stop paying up?

Rhetoric can’t always be taken with wooden literality. There will still always be a taxation entity no matter what it is called.. if you wanna, call it Cruz Tax Service, but it still does the same thing.

The tax code has to change, no if’s and’s or but’s about it, if American taxation paradigms are also to change.

the IRS is a cash-flow-positive agency, generating around $255 in income for every $1 assigned to it in federal funding

True. That's what happens when you're a government agency tasked with taking money away from American citizens by means of implied and/or actual force.

I hope the left run on the idea that the IRS is a great thing.

They actually believe the IRS “generates money”. The IRS STEALS MONEY BY COERSION.

Yep... force them into that corner... about time conservatives came out swinging for common sense.

Liberals categorize conservatives as either stupid or evil. Ike, Reagan, Bush were stupid idiots. Nixon was an evil genius. The Libs are desperately trying to figure out Cruz now. They’d like to laugh at him as stupid but my gut tells me they will settle on evil.

I talked to my CPA gnome about the code and the possibility of an alternative tax system.

They noted, no problem, they will focus their business on helping businesses on investing profits and or growing their businesses.

Man this author was apoplectic, they know the power and control and goodies are dealt out via the code, and can't stand the thought of loosing control of us, the little people.

The revenge of Steve Forbes should be served cold and will be delicious.....

Or as my husband points out, think of the brain power wasted by the smartest people in the US, trying to figure out how to pay less taxes, which could be used for doing something more productive.

Tom McKay: RACIST.

He doesn’t like Sen. Cruz because he’s Latino. The racism exudes from the article.
