Ted Cruz Says IRS Has Been 'Weaponized' & Should Be Abolished (Flashback Jan 2015)
Fox News ^ | 1/15/15 | Fox News

Posted on 02/28/2016 9:17:42 AM PST by jimbo123

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) emphatically denounced the IRS this week in a Heritage Foundation speech, saying that that the agency doesn't need to be reformed, it needs to be "abolished."

-snip-

“As we have seen the weaponization of the IRS, as we have seen the Obama administration using the IRS in a partisan manner to punish its political enemies.”

Our Founding Fathers would have burned down and destroyed their buildings long ago.

And hung the occupants.

Dear Ted,

What a big disappointment you've turned out to be.

Sounds good to me. Build the Wall. Close the IRS. What should Trump do on Day 3?

That is why I think people like Rush and BO and Hannity, Levin are part of the Hegelian Dialectic......talk-talk-talk for decades and the Leviathan takes total control. We now have a “Justice” system which ejected Right Reason and Justice (virtue) for a Vice System (Rule of Man).

How can that be so complicated to understand that “Judges” have thrown out Truth and Reason for Satanism and pagan irrationality? As a Catholic, Hannity understands subsidiarity and Natural Law (but is he owned????) and Rush supposedly is “free” to state the Truth? He hasn’t spelled out the bare TRUTH-—that which the Founders reiterated 24/7 and the Churches were ALLOWED to promote 24/7. Funny how the Christian churches have been silenced and controlled (taxed) for stating Truth.

This system is SO rotted-—it needs to be overthrown 50 years ago and Rush has been like the valve-—which prevents a true Revolution. Only Truth will set us Free.

Is this the same IRS that Cruz is trying to use as a weapon against Trump? It’s pretty obvious that Cruz doesn’t want to abolish the IRS for weaponizing, he just wants to redirect the bullets.

Painfully obvious. So much for the “principled conservative”, although I haven’t believed that since the Corker Bill and TPA cloture votes Cruz made last year.

Right up there with Hope and Make America Great Again! and Change and stuff.

Abolishing the IRS, which has been part of Cruz' platform since the beginning, and replacing it with a flat tax used to be a pretty popular idea around here.

Is FR being diverted to DU?

Did he change his position?

He did not refuse to file his taxes nor disclose them.

No matter what Trump does, certain followers will not reconsider their support. The ONLY thing that matters is the big, beautiful wall Trump promised them.

But there is something much bigger than a wall at stake. The next president will pick a Supreme Court justice that will determine the fate of this nation. If he or she is liberal that wall will be trapping freedom-seekers INSIDE rather than keeping illegals out.
