I support Cruz 100%, but he can stuff the VAT/Fairy Tax plan.
It might be OK if everyone was on it all their working life, but it would hose older people out of their savings.
Yep, because ‘older people’ don’t use the services those in the working force must pay....nor the ‘poor’. /s
“...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”
Let’s get some details:
- There’s STILL an IRS (’as we know it’).
- Still requires ‘voluntary’ ceding of 4th/5th Amendment Rights.
- Does nothing to correct the supposition of guilt by the taxpayer and theft (garnish, etc. before any trial let alone conviction).
- It only encompasses those w/ ‘income’ (not ALL Citizens. See opening point/jab)
- Still allows govt to tweak/carve out (see current tax code since inception)
- MOST importantly, IMO, still completely INVOLUNTARY (antithesis of a Free people/country).
Nope, I see only smoke and mirrors. More ‘tweaking’ of the current code; and nothing that will reign in govt; before it regroups, recoups and devours anew.
