Ted Cruz: 'Abolish the IRS' and station all 110,000 agents 'on the southern border'

Trey Gowdy for A.G? No.. Gramnesty. Just kick kim upstairs. Give the seat to Gowdy/Wilson or that looker Mace.

While we’re at it, we can also abolish the Department of Education, Energy and Commerce and move their paper pushers to processing the backlog of those who have applied to become LEGAL immigrants (currently waiting for YEARS ).

Better Idea: abolish everything except

Post Office — Directly authorized in the Constitution.
DOT — Pare down regulatory reqs, prioritize upkeep of interstates.
Secret Service — Drop all duties other than investigating/prosecuting counterfeiting.
Navy — Directly authorized by the Constitution. (Marines are subdept. of Navy.)
Army — Dissolve the regular component, the Constitution plainly says that the [regular] Army should only be funded for 2-years at a time.
Personally, I would like existing enlistees to be reassigned to train-up of militias, finishing out their enlistment contracts in this manner.
Diplomatic Corps — Get rid of everything else under the State Dept.
IRS — It is authorized unless you wish to argue the 16th amendment is invalid. (There's actually some good evidence it is.)

And all 110,000 STAY on the border until THE WALL IS COMPLETE.

There is NO Discussion of “Immigration Reform” until THE WALL IS COMPLETE.

Where is the GOP on this?

Hiding.

BACKSTABBING CONSERVATIVES.

Sending out operatives to help Obama.

Sending out operatives to continue election fraud.

Where is one Conservative beyond
Sen Cruz and Gov. Palin?

Where?

When was the last time an illegal alien was audited or arrested for tax evasion?

Cruz and Palin on the 2016 ticket, in either order. Here’s the agenda:

Trey Gowdy in as AG
Abolish the IRS, and move to the Fair Tax.
Abolish the departments of Education, Commerce, Agriculture, and HHS.
Dump the EPA and the Department of Energy.
Stop Common Core cold.
Secure the border, completely.
Return to zero based budgeting; dump baseline budgeting.
Deport illegals wherever they are found.
Prosecute employers who knowingly hire illegals.
Repeal 0bamacare fully.

The “Code” is less about providing revenue for the necessary and CONSTITUTIONALLY LIMITED functions. It’s a tool to allow the political ruling class in power at the time to reward their friends and punish their enemies.

That said, the ONLY reason to erase digits from our bank accounts is set forth below.

I watched Ted Cruz during his valiant effort to halt the disaster called Obamacare. I hope you watched it as well. If he used it once, he used the phrase “...we no longer listen to the people, our constituents...” over a hundred times. And he was right...they don’t. And the fact is, THEY NO LONGER NEED TO.
I’ve posted my little rant on this topic before but Ted’s honest comment compels me to do so again.
*************
WHY THE POLITICAL RULING CLASS NO LONGER LISTENS TO US!
“When the servants of the people are paid with something other than that which the people themselves have produced (i.e. the real, tangible products of their labors or some fixed and real medium of that exchange), the roles of master and servant will be reversed.”
That was Thomas Jefferson warning that the financial disaster we now face would be but one of many problems paper money would visit upon us if we allowed our “leaders” to remove the backing from the currency.
It was believed by Roger Sherman and a majority of those at the Constitutional Convention that unbacked fiat currency would so damage the fabric of the nation that they ATTEMPTED to prohibit it with these few words at Article 1, Section 10, requiring the states to enforce the prohibition: “No State shall…make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts;”
If the people and their states grew inattentive to this matter (and they have!), Jefferson also saw another problem ahead.
In a letter to John Taylor in 1816, he wrote, “And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale.”
We have been “…swindling futurity…” for a long time and this is now where we find ourselves. If the government, through its banker masters at the Federal Reserve, can create “money” from thin air, they certainly don’t need ours every April 15th. That annual sheep shearing is simply an attempt to vacuum enough of the excess paper from the system to keep the rest of us from catching on to the biggest theft ring in the history of man. They have now created so much that their attempt is failing and failing badly to a point where all but the dullest among us (Obama voters and his growing cadres of personal and corporate welfare beneficiaries) are starting to “get it.”
If you understood that last paragraph, you can now make the small leap to an understanding as to why the “progressive” utopian welfare state hacks in Washington don’t give a damn WHAT you think. Their power to create all the “money” they need to fuel their infernal machine and fill the gaping maws of enough of those growing hoards of welfare constituents to assure their perpetual re-election means that — ready — THEY NO LONGER NEED YOU! They have become, as Mr. Jefferson predicted, our MASTERS.
And this is for you who believe that we’re ALL equally screwed under this dishonest, fraudulent fiat money system: Inflation DOES NOT impact everyone at the same time and level. THOSE WHO GET THEIR HANDS ON THAT “MONEY” FIRST – BEFORE THE INFLATION ERODES ITS VALUE – SUFFER FAR LESS THAN THOSE OF US FURTHER DOWN THE FOOD CHAIN. THINK ABOUT IT (unless you’re an obama voter, in which case, let us know how you FEEL about that).
We won’t have even a CHANCE at an honest government until we again have HONEST MONEY.
That they are taking down a nation and a system that has provided more wealth, safety and abundance to more people than any other in history matters not to them. Failing to grasp the lesson of the French Revolution, they believe themselves to be above the impending disaster.
We’re running out of time to get this increasingly rapacious beast back into the cage from which we have carelessly allowed it to escape.

PS: I was a 3 year member of the national board of CATS (Citizens for an Alternative Tax System), the precursor to the current Fair Tax organization. I fully support the concept of a CONSUMPTION TAX over the current Marxist INCOME TAX. That said, UNTIL WE GET BACK TO HONEST “MONEY”, WERE REARRANGING DECK CHAIRS ON A SINKING SHIP.
PPS: A word about the brilliance of this scheme hatched in 1913 by the elites: Economics is called “the dismal science” for a reason. Freepers are a pretty sharp group, and most who get this far will grasp the importance of getting back to a Constitutionally sound money system. But hand this to the “guy on the street” and his eyes will glaze over, he’d start drooling before he hit the third paragraph, throw it down, declare you crazy and stomp off in search of a much needed drink. We can’t solve a problem until more of us recognize that there IS ONE!

You miss a key point in much of that post:
Businesses DO NOT PAY TAXES. They COLLECT them. Show me a business that fails to add its tax burden as well as the useless and nonproductive costs of accounting, reporting and remitting them to the taxing authority, and I’ll show you a candidate for BANKRUPTCY!

The tax and control the current system gives the political ruling class is a private sector goat at which to point when the economic burden of government becomes unbearable. How many times have you heard “progressive” (i.e, COMMUNIST) hacks declare that this business or that is ripping off the public when the state itself is behind the increase in prices by means of inflating the currency or imposing insane burdens on those businesses. The EPA comes immediately to mind — as it should.

To further compound your confusion, there is this:

This is quite interesting and did not previously realize where the connecting dots lead to....they don’t need us as long as they print money and hand enough out to ensure their re-election.

We really aren’t a Free Republic anymore, are we? How prescient and brilliant our founders were and now their gift has been squandered.

“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”.

We could abolish the ATF and put about 10,000 more agents on the border with no problem.

Place them all the Border to actually earn their income. Hey, no jobs lost just rearranged for
the benefit of our Sovereignty, Economy, and Safety.

He's my elected representative ... and I'm damn proud of it! How many of you Freepers can say that about your Congress critters?

I'll trade you our entire Massachusetts' congressional delegation, as well as all future draft picks.

Or when they cross the border, they get a bill representing their share of the US debt. That might change a lot of minds.

I agree.

But.... Cornyn.... ugh...

But then who would supply guns to the bad guys, shot your dog or break into innocent peoples houses?

illegal aliens

Better idea, REPEAL the 16th Amendment.

I’d be up for that.
But I think we have a far better chance at the 17th.

No that was exactly my point. Use the business infrastructure to collect taxes. Get the govt out of individual homes. Simplify and streamline the process. No targeted breaks. No exemptions or credits.

Just my thoughts.

One thing that is clear ... the current system is unmanageable, corrupted, and completely inefficient. I’m open to new ideas that focus on simple, manageable ideas that take away the power of this single agency to cause fear and loathing from the public.

Ted Cruz Ping!

If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.

Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!
