If we have no borders, we have no country. If we have no borders, we have no jobs. If we have "free" trade agreements, we have no jobs. The Globalists win, and we don't have an IRS---we pay GLOBAL taxes, based on globalist ideas (carbon credits, reparations to colonized nations, and on and on with socially imposed punitive taxes.)
I am all for elimination of the IRS. As well as every cabinet level department. But we must be a SOVEREIGN NATION to accomplish any of these. Our SOVEREIGNTY is under attack by Globalists (open borders, uncontrolled immigration, "free" trade to move all US jobs offshore and allow immigrants under TPP and other "free" trade agreements unfettered entrance into the USA to take those jobs waiting for offshoring or which can't be offshored). Only PATRIOTS oppose it. Only one candidate represents Nationalists/Patriots against the forces of Globalism, which is behind the candidacies of all the others running for the nomination.
The thread was about IRS, so this is my chance to talk about IRS. I know Cruz has talked about it. Trump has a good tax plan, but I don’t know that he has thought in terms of actually separating IRS from dealing with average citizens who are not businesses. But I hope he will think about it. We should be demanding it.
Cruz won’t be the nominee anyway, so if it happens we have to put it on the agenda.
You are right, national sovereignty is the most important issue we face. Right on the heels of that is constitutionality, and right after that the economy. Trump is pretty good on two of the three. Cruz has been firm on the border, less firm on things like H1b, and his vote on TPA was bad (though his attack on McConnell was sweet).
None of the candidates are perfect. Trump and Cruz are the only ones I trust on the border. Cruz is the only one I trust when it comes to constitutionality. Trump is probably the best man to re-align us in terms of our trade relationships.
The tit-for-tat about the tax returns is just noise. It doesn’t hurt to give Trump grief about it, but it doesn’t mean much, I assume there is nothing in there of importance. But re-orienting our relationship with IRS, that’s important.
