Hmm, if Ted Cruz isn’t a threat, why are the attacks increasing?

But reality is a lot tougher than some tax models. A flat tax would just be a colossal giveaway to the rich—and maybe even take away for the poor—and that doesn't help the economy much. Just look, for example, at Rick Perry's version of this.

What a crock. It can't be a giveaway if the government never collects it, unless liberals insist on defining wealth as the government's money that just happens to be in your bank account.

The Beltway meme is to conflate Cruz’s use of the word “imagine” with the John Lennon song. The little girlie-boys over at National Review seem to have been the first. My guess is that we have a few more days of this idiocy, before they move on to some other inanity.

"DAMN the rich. Damn them all to hell ..."

It's really amazing how quickly leftism of any stripe devolves into greed and envy.

I just checked. Both of them are still among the "Seven Deadly Sins".

Hmmmm...I don’t remember a similar reaction to Obama’s “hope and change” mantra when he first unveiled it in 2007 as an absentee, freshmen Senator with no real accomplishments to speak of....

Figures he’d start off this article with the liberal Mantra to communism: Imagine, which John Lennon later regretted writing which of course libs ignore.

If a flat tax is good enough for Russia, it’s good enough for me.

No damn tax system will ever do away with some type of IRS. Some people will try to bilk the system no matter what. Some type of oversight will always be needed.

But the current system of what we call the IRS is nothing more than a corrupt gestapo club and must be disbanded. The code is pure crap and full of insanity. Maybe rewriting the entire code and possible with simplifying it could be done on one sheet of paper. Limit exemptions. Who knows. Nothing seems to be the best answer. Heard this consumption tax is the way but can be just as corrupted as the Fair Tax.

Ted Cruz will do very well standing up to the blow torch of negativism from the left. The newsies are running scared.

There are too many debts, too many obligations... there is no possible way to deliver on these promises.

The USA will default on the whole mess. Or, after a separation of the US into two or more parts the parts will refuse to make good on the debts and obligations.

I also think it is a possibility that two US currencies will be created, the current US dollar will become the external international dollar and within the country the holders of current dollars will be issued a new internal US dollar. This will be a default on all US dollars held outside the country... it will mean war.

It is also obvious that the US is itching to get into a major war somewhere, anywhere, in order to have an external boogieman to blame a dollar collapse on. Russia? China?

There is no way we are going to pay off all the debts and there is no way the current administration is going to allow blame to fall on themselves.... desperate measures are coming IMO.
