I said that all he did was suggest we abolish the IRS and institute a flatter and fairer tax code.
And you insisted I was wrong in my conclusion that such a tax code would cost the rich less and the middle class and poor more. Yet when I ask you to demonstrate this using Cruz's tax proposal....
......I get excuses. You clearly don't have the slightest clue what you're talking about.
How then could I be wrong in my assessment....if he has said what the flat tax should be? Its remarkably simple: either you have the numbers to back up the claim that I'm wrong. Or you don't. And as your dodging and excuses demonstrate, you don't.But he did not say what the flat tax should be...
And of course, you're wrong. Cruz has gotten very specific. Here's the flat tax overhaul that Cruz co-sponsored.

Now you don't have to pull numbers out of your ass anymore. So demonstrate to us using Cruz's proposal that I'm wrong. Or....you could just keep giving us more excuses.
Without knowing the flat tax is, you cannot simply assume I'm wrong. See how that works?So without knowing what the flat tax is, you can not simply assume it will favor the rich.
Actually, no. You said I was wrong in my assessment. That's starkly different than 'a comment that is impossible to make without knowing the rate'.So as I said....you made a comment that is impossible to make without knowing the rate.
If I'm wrong, then show me. Don't tell me. Not from numbers you've pulled out of your ass. But from Cruz's own flat tax proposal, submitted in the Senate, of which he was a co-sponsor.
And if you can't possibly back up your claim, you'll give us more excuses why you can't. Gee, I wonder which its gonna be.
