Thanks JayGalt. Wish Trump would be more vocal about defunding PP.

Trump has given more to Republicans than Democrats over the last 26+ years.

[fooman]

I said authoritarian. Trump has been attacking everyone against him for decades...

that much we know.

[fooman]

The issue here is that Trump releases his taxes after super Tuesday or is beaten like a drum by Hillary for not doing so.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Tell that to the tea party. Can’t believe anyone would say that given what we know about the irs being politicized.

You of course are assuming you're conversing with a rational, thinking poster ;)

Trump has given more to Republicans than Democrats over the last 26+ 5 years.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Yes and Cruz is the one who is always harping about getting rid of the IRS.

I would love to see the IRS go to that ash bin of history, but wouldn't that take an act of congress?

I don't see congress giving up their tool of power, no how, no way.

I wish someone would ask Cruz how intends to accomplish this.

[Georgia Girl 2]

That’s part of the problem with Cruz’s tax plan the Congress will never abolish the IRS.

[fooman]

Cruz wants a national sales tax.

But as another freeper has reminded me, we need to repeal the 16th amendment , or we end up with a sales tax and an income tax.

[fooman]

It should. solves lots problems with tax returns and being guilty until proven innocent.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I’m a big proponent of the Fair Tax but its not going to happen anytime soon.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Cruz wants a national sales tax.

I have to admit I am not 100% clear on his plan. I've read that it's a flat tax, a vat tax, now a national (consumption) tax.

You're correct though, if we don't repeal the 16th, we'll end up with all the above.

I know one thing though, congress will never give up their ability to tax, it's where they derive their power.

[Las Vegas Ron]

My exact thoughts too.

[Hoodat]

I get all that. A woman goes to PP, gets a breast exam. They tell her she may want to go somewhere else and get a mammogram. She gets one and is then referred to a surgeon who performs a biopsy and informs the woman that she has breast cancer.

So now back to PP. What service does PP now provide for this woman (and millions and millions like her) who just learned she has breast cancer?

[Zarro]

You obviously missed my tagline.

No, it was the CNN moderators, especially that Telemundo chick; I thought she’d NEVER shut up. And Wolf losing control...and smug Hugh....Gag.

No.

[fooman]

Well if Trump wins , maybe he can ‘do something’ and get it done after having audited so much.

[Hoodat]

Or, he could have stuck on principle and stayed with his choice instead of kissing party butt.

Are you really that obtuse? It's not Cruz's choice. It is the President's choice. And once the President makes that choice, there is no other candidate to support. It's not a matter of kissing party butt. It is a matter of supporting your boss. Bush chose Roberts.

[fooman]

Its not really a vat, that has been an attack on it.

[The Iceman Cometh]

It is a matter of supporting your boss. Bush chose Roberts.

And Cruz could have held on principle and kept his mouth shut. Instead, he throws in with the establishment and supports Roberts who gave us one of the worst decisions to ever come from the court.

[Georgia Girl 2]

I have no doubt that Trump will get a lot done. Its going to be a nice change from all talk no action. :-)
