I don’t claim my tithe on my tax returns... In my mind I’m not giving my first fruits to God by doing that. I’m letting the government pay Him for me...
I would imagine this is likely the case with Senator Cruz as well.

But he did claim some contributions, less than 1% for 4 years. Maybe you shouldn't equate the genuineness of your Christianity with Cruz's, though I think it speaks well of you that you do :)
According to personal tax returns released during his 2012 Senate bid, Senator Ted Cruz contributed less than 1% of his income to charity between 2006 and 2010...

Just think; if you DID claim your tithe; you'd send LESS to the gummint.
And that less you could dedicate to GOD's work here on Earth.
