The Cruz VAT is much fairer than the so-called Fair Tax plan which thankfully died before going anywhere.

Assuming you judge fairness objectively and not subjectively like liberal progressive tax proponents.

Despite the false advertising, the Fair Tax was progressive. Because of the horribly misguided concept of pre-bates!

Yes, the "pre-bates" are the wrong way to go.

OTOH, Cruz's 10% "FLAT TAX", sans the VAT TAX, doesn't raise enough money to support the government, even IF it were cut to the bone. That was proved decades ago, when the FLAT TAX was set at 15%!

The VAT TAX turns the nation into a FASCIST society. It would also utterly destroy our economy and this nation.

We need tax CUTS, less waste, a smaller government, far less handouts, and a fiscal conservative at the helm, which Cruz is NOT one of!

I see nothing fair about the consumer shouldering the total tax burden. I am not a bleeding heart type, but the reality is, the less someone makes the more this hurts them. And business pays no tax at all. That just doesn’t seem right.
