Well, I've yet to hear Ted Cruz lovingly slobber over the "virtues" of communism ANYWHERE at ANY time. How 'bout we contrast that with obama's always lovingly licking islamic arse every chance that disgusting creature gets?

At approx 2:20+ into this we find out that islam has apparently blessed the world with "soaring arches" (thank Rome for that) as well as even having "lit the Olympic Torch"...umm...Seriously?...Didn't the Greeks do that? Per earliest "tools of navigation": shouldn't we more properly thank the Chinese and the Vikings for such? What DID this POSPOTUS ever actually LEARN in the fine islamic schools he first attended as a child?...If ANYTHING? I'm only slightly surprised that we didn't also hear about how it was really muslims that first landed on the moon....Just sayin'...And one must suppose that islamic "culture" was at it's height in helping to "build America" by acts of piracy and enslavement against American ships and crews, that only ended when the events leading to "the shores of Tripoli" being later set in the USMC's anthem took place? Small wonder that spineless little twit actually BOWS to Saudi "Kings".
 
In any attempt at useful rebuttal; perhaps some loving liberal might now show us all a video of Mr. Cruz glorifying communism, or EVER bowing to some commie?...Much less adoringly licking any communists' tail-ends at ANY point?
 
Evidently, the western world has islam to thank for even the Renaissance taking place?  Whew! One must honestly wonder if before fully qualifying as a "liberal" that some strange ceremonial removal of ALL knowledge of actual history first takes place. Here's a few hints for starters kids:
 
http://history1800s.about.com/od/americanwars/tp/barbarywars.htm     "The ambassador explained that Muslim pirates considered Americans to be infidels and they believed they simply had the right to plunder American ships."

Ah! How both refreshing and hugely surprising that you have NOTHING to actually offer in rebuttal?

Perfect example of why KC is right.
 
Company X makes a washing machine, pays it employees $15 an hour, say they sell it for $500 a unit.
 
Company X moves its factory to Mexico or SE Asia, pays the workers, $1 an hour, yet they still sell the washer for $500.
 
Why didnt they pass the savings on to the consumer?

  

First, you who defend the Cruz plan by dismissing the VAT need to go back and read up on the concept. You will pay an extra 16% on everything you buy, as will every entity at every step of production and resale.
If you think that is a tax cut for you, you are wrong.
It is also very highly regressive, and a thinly disguised tool for transferring wealth to the Domininist Cause.

  

Look at how a VAT works.  It's not cutting the corporate tax rate from 35%...it's assessing a tax at every point in production.  That gets passed around in a myriad of ways.  An article I read described it this way
 
 
 

 
Tha's pretty simplistic, but it can get more complicated. Let's say Boeing is building a jet to sell to United. They need seats for the plane, so they turn to ABC seat company. In order to build the seats, ABC needs fabric and aluminum for the frame. So they turn to XYZ mills for the fabric, and Acme Aluminum for the aluminum. When Acme sells the aluminum to ABC, they pay a 16% tax to the government. When XYZ sells the fabric to ABC, they pay a 16% tax to the government. When ABC sells the seat to Boeing, they pay a 16% tax on their stuff. When Boeing sells the plane to United, they pay a 16% tax to the government. And when United sells you a ticket, they pay a 16% tax on the ticket price. Are ALL of these companies going to eat that tax that they pay? Or will they push  the cost down the line? So it's not just United selling you a ticket...it's United paying the taxes from the other companies that were passed on to them. Do they eat it or pass it on to the consumer? That's a silly question I know since the usual way companies address increased costs is to cut the labor force.
 
I know that sounds kind of convoluted, but that's why politicians stick to the easy stuff...Isn't it just easier to say “tax cut”? Again...most conservatives tell me that corporations don't pay taxes – they just pass it along to the consumer.

I suggest you actually read this article, explains it pretty well, and says its basically a wash because it removes the current taxes and replaces it with the 16% flat.

I know you guys are having a tough time wrapping your head around the fact that Cruz is running a perfect campaign so far.

It must be a very traumatic experience , especially for you 700, that the gay marriage thing, or any other social issue, just doesn't mean a hill of beans in this election cycle.

Issues 1,2,and 3 are , Who will protect this countries borders and people better than anyone else. Everything else is wasted time and band width.

Cruz is batting 1000 on the protection issue, that's why he contunes to climb higher in the polls daily.

It was a toast.

Indeed. The bottom line for these "interesting times" we live in:

A 16% tax in every phase of production.  In this case, it might well bring in MORE, since companies can't tweak the accounting during tax time, but if you don't think companies will pass this along to the consumer (consumer being the groups down the line), you are wearing rose colored glasses.  Our current system is supposedly 35%.  But starting in January they deduct this and write off that and lower this and tweak that, and ship this offshore and change that...until they pay very little.  16% at every step of production would be an increase for businesses.  
 
As for protecting the country....Cruz has already amended his plan for the individual income tax...it remained 10%,but the original plan eliminated deductions.  He's changed to to allow you to claim mortgage interest.  Would you be willing to forgo your interest deduction to go to paying for the defense of this country?
 
But you're right...he sure has talked tough about defending this country.  You know...defense doesn't come cheap....and we've already got this massive debt thing that we are told is bad....how does he cut taxes, increase defense spending, deploy the military AND bring down that debt?  I guess he does have a Caribbean background, so maybe some voodoo is involved.

Can you imagine the horrendous backlash if BaRacks kids were portrayed as monkeys in a cartoon!

No double standard when it comes to the Libtard MSM, is there?

Massive debt thing, that has tripled under a Libtard POTUS, while cutting military spending and if he's been cutting military spending , how the hell has he been incurring all this debt and better yet, on what?

"and better yet, on what?" Is a good question indeed. Our Armed Forces languish at inadequate levels not seen since before WWII. To even begin to see unemployment numbers as they now exist; one needs look to the Great Depression. America fought WWII and later produced the Apollo project with far less spending. We nowadays have to beg Mr. Putin for even a ride into orbit, since we have nothing more than essentially a "joke" left of even our space program.  What's wrong with this picture?
