This thread is delusional.

Cruz does not advocate a VAT in any way.

Ted Cruz's and Rand Paul's Strange Embrace of the VAT

Apparently, National Review thinks it's a VAT. They had another article on the same thing a few days later.

Apparently, "economists" are calling the Cruz flat business tax [16%?] a "VAT".

It kind of makes sense, because businesses don't pay taxes - their customers pay the tax.
