“Second, Cruz’s plan eliminates almost all deductions and credits — which is how they get the rate so low. The IRS could be dramatically shrunk in size.”

Actually, Ted Cruz says that he is going to eliminate the IRS! How is he going to collect this money? He must have plans to keep the part that receives the returns and the money and call it something else. Perhaps he will call it the Personal Tax Agency (PTA). That way he can tell everyone that he eliminated the IRS and moved the PTA into all the old IRS buildings and computer centers.

"Imagine 4.9 million new jobs. Instead of Obama's income stagnation, imagine average wages rising 12.2 percent over the next decade. Capital investment rising 43.9 percent. And every income-level seeing double-digit increases in after-tax income. Imagine exports and manufacturing jobs booming. Our trade deficit falling as the tax bias against American made goods is eliminated. Imagine a 10 percent income tax, with every American filling out his or her taxes on a postcard or iPhone app. And abolishing the IRS as we know it." - Ted Cruz

What is funny is your studied ignorance ignoring the massive flip flops of you god Trump over the years and even recently.
