1. ..........Cruz is a fierce ideologue: He denies the existence of man-made climate change, rejects same-sex marriage, wants to abolish the Internal Revenue Service, believes the 2nd amendment guarantees everyone a right to guns, doesn’t believe in a constitutional divide between church and state, favors the death penalty, opposes international agreements, embraces a confrontational foreign policy, rejects immigration reform, demands the repeal of “every blessed word of Obamacare,” and takes a strict “originalist” view of the meaning of the Constitution.

...abolish the Internal Revenue Service...

Typical crazy leftist lie.  Abolishing tax revenue means abolishing the United States.   Anyone here thinks Cruz wants to abolish "only" federal income tax?  He wants no such thing.  He talks changing rates and brackets but he's keeping the income tax as the primary source.  More here.

My take is that the entire list should be assumed to be pack of lies.

Agree, it’s a Cruz promotion for the Iowa Caucus. Speaks directly to the Evangelicals.

Actually, you could abolish (or reduce to a skeleton) the IRS if you went with a flat tax. I’ve stated here before why the Fair Tax has some issues for me, but it you had a true Flat Tax, any entity that pays out money would simply hold that percentage (e.g., 17% as suggested by Friedman) back and remit to the GAO. Your income tax return could be a postcard.

Men of his stature are in short supply......but there are those who think little of him.

...abolish (or reduce to a skeleton) the IRS...

We need to get clear about what we're talking about.  From here:

DEFINITION of 'Internal Revenue Service - IRS'

A United States government agency that is responsible for the collection and enforcement of taxes. The IRS was established in 1862 by President Lincoln and operates under the authority of the United States Department of the Treasury. It is primarily engaged in the collection of individual income taxes and employment taxes, but also handles corporate, gift, excise and estate taxes.

There's a lot more to the IRS than personal income taxes.

Sounds exactly like a person I would vote for ...

I honestly did double-check the source upon reading that, as it truly reads as satire of the leftist agenda.
