I think Ted Cruz is planning to go with the FairTax but is including Flat Tax issues for campaign purposes only. He has said he wants to abolish the IRS and he wants the FairTax.

I think I am going to support Ted Cruz in this but not because of the reason you may think.

I don’t like the Flat Tax, not because it still requires IRS-like enforcement, but because it leaves the 16th Amendment in place. Without the 16th, practically any income tax is unfeasible.

The FairTax forces the 16th to be repealed.

Without the 16th, the income tax will never come back.

With the 16th, the income tax always comes back and grows like a cancer. A FLAT TAX NEVER STAYS FLAT!

The United States has had 5 Flat Taxes in its history starting with the first income tax in 1861. In each case it grew and became graduated. Early versions of a flat income tax were shot down in court as unconstitutional as they were. This is the reason the 16th was passed.

The 16th was passed in 1913 along with the 17th and the 18th. Americans rebelled against the 18th giving rise to black markets and underworld elements until it was repealed in 1933 by the 21st Amendment,

Both the 16th and 17th came about while the public was asleep. How so?

The 16th was accompanied by a tax act legislation of code comprising only 14 pages with only 2 tax brackets of 7% on the ultra wealthy and 1% for everyone else that showed a net profit after expenses. In other words, more than 98% of Americans were subject to only 1% tax rate and most did not even need to pay that or even file if they claimed there was nothing remaining after expenses.

So the original 1913 income tax was a flat tax of only 1% for practically everyone. The 16th was passed so that the income flat tax of only 1% would survive court challenges and the public was sold that the income tax was a measly 1% while soaking it to the (less than 2%) rich at 7%.

Only 1% get it?

In the recent years past in Washington State which has no income tax, Bill Gate’s father tried by referendum passing a ‘1%’ income tax. He lost.

See how sneaky the income tax advocates can be? Just one percent and ‘trust me’ is their angle.

And then of course later the 1% metastasizes.

The Income Tax is an act of DECEPTION.

The Flat Tax is the embryo of the DECEPTION.

The Flat Tax is an Act of Political Con Artists.

What kind of person would support this deception? The type of person that thinks government is the solution to everything and who think they are uniquely suited to using the power of government over their fellows.

So to outfox these con artists, Ted Cruz is offering a Flat Tax. What? Stay with me.

Do you understand that people with names and faces sit in the CBO and on the JCT (Joint Committee on Taxation) and they salivate at a Flat Tax? These people know each other, their kids play with each other, I have met many of them.

Why would these people who oversee the monstrous tax complexity that presently exists be so excited about a Flat Tax?

Let me make it clear by analogy to everyone reading so far.

Say there is a nice town surrounded by beautiful nature and the Town Council has passed a moratorium on development to control the town’s sprawl so as to preserve the pristine nature that surrounds it.

Now consider the effect on the town’s general contractors. They suddenly are out of work. They may need to move or retrain. They’re not happy.

Suddenly a fire breaks out in the town and several buildings burn to the ground. Parts of the town are ‘flattened’.

How do construction contractors react to the fire?

Hallelujah!!!

Now there’s all kinds of new work and oh boy are we gonna charge top dollar!

Get the picture?

So Ted Cruz comes along and strings these bastards along with the bait of a Flat Tax and they are all salivating and grinning from ear to ear.

And then, and as I wish, he does the bait and switch.

Because to get rid of the 2 million folks that work in some tentacle of the IRS octopus, we are gonna need a reason to move them elsewhere, The Flat Tax serves one purpose only. It serves as a staging ground for the destruction of the IRS.

I acknowledge it’s a risk. But then most conservatives do not know the enemy’s troop strength, tech power, supply lines and armaments (political, press and police).

THE IRS IS THE US GOVERNMENT. The Beltway and their puppet masters in NYC, London and Zurich are joined at the hip to the IRS.

We can’t just stand out here in the boonies jumping up and down like screaming ninjas. We have to outfox them. We need a present day General George Washington.
