Here's How Much Ted Cruz's Untested Tax Plan Would Cost
excerpt....
Republican presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz ....It looks a lot like a VAT, even if Cruz says it isn't.
In Thursday night's Republican debate, one of the most heated clashes was over tax policy that has never been tried in the U.S.
Marco Rubio said Ted Cruz's tax plan was merely "a way to blindfold the people so the cost of government is not there for them." Cruz fired back that his proposed levy was a "business tax that enables us to eliminate the corporate tax and the death tax, eliminates the IRS," and in the process, will shrink your federal tax return to the size of a postcard.
At issue is something called a value-added tax. Cruz denies his brainchild is a VAT, but that's precisely what it is.....
It's actually a 19% tax once you read the article. And, as always, the Cruz fans will deny the entire thing because their Cruz 'visionary' says it isn't a VAT tax. Compare this to Cruz's illegal alien position of 'self deportation' that leaves all the deadbeat illegals here in the sanctuary cities and you really see what Cruz really is: a GOPe wolf in pious clothing.
