“You've seen my statements. I do very well. I don't mind paying a little more in taxes. The middle class is getting clobbered in this country,” Donald Trump August 2015.

“And I want to go further and impose what I call a ‘Fair Share Surcharge’ on multimillionaires because right now we're behind and we need to get the wealthy and the corporations to pay more [of] their fair share so I can keep my promise,” she continued. “Which is: I will not raises taxes on the middle class.” Hillary Clinton January 2016

“Instead of a tax code that crushes innovation [and] imposes burdens on families struggling to make ends meet, imagine a simple flat tax that lets every American file his or her taxes on a postcard.” -Ted Cruz March 2015

“Abolish the IRS; take all 125,000 IRS agents, and put them on our southern border.” -Ted Cruz April 2015

If you had joined FR more than a dozen years prior to when you did, you would have been privy to THE most indepth posts about the VAT, the FAIR TAX and the FLAT tax.

You may believe that you know exactly what Trump's tax plans are ( you don't ! ) and what Cruz's are.

The simple facts are these...Cruz wants a FLAT TAX that does NOT cover what the government needs for a barebones, elimination of almost every Department budget. And on top of THAT, he wants a VAT TAX, that will close almost every business, make almost everyone barely scraping by, as in Venezuela, and won't get rid of the IRS at all, but expand it, due to the VAT.

Re Trump....he was talking about himself, NOT about his tax plan, which is very much like Reagan's!
