Until the democrats inevitably get control of congress and then the other taxes come back and the VAT stays
Also the Cruz plan is a proposal. The democrats would love to add this tax. and would happily compromise temporarily to get it.
The Cruz plan makes the same argument that was made in favor of State income taxes. “The sales tax goes away with this” But it didn’t.
NEVER add a new type of tax.

I hear ya.... it’s why I would include a rule change for a flat tax and the business tax. Something along the line that if the corporate tax is returned, that automatically eliminates the value added tax and that it would take a supermajority - say 2/3’s to raise any part of the flat tax proposal. Sure the dems could change those rules too, but it would be known ahead of time.
I’m banking on the economic recovery from such a tax would be so great, that the people would know and perhaps we’d never see another Dem majority in congress. But, yeah, I hear you and others who have said the same thing in the past - like ‘read my lips’ :-)

BTW, that could be said about ANYONE’s plan, not just Cruz’s.
