How do you know Cruz's flat tax would not accomplish it? Show which feature he mentions would make it impossible.I am one hundred percent behind the filing of a postcard for our federal income tax. One hundred percent. In fact, that is EXACTLY what I have been advocating on this forum for years.
Ted Cruz's "flat tax" would not accomplish this.
It does not have a ban on tax expenditures in it. And that is all that matters.
Without a specific ban on tax expenditures, each and every tax scheme is doomed to being utterly and completely corrupted, and we are doomed to filling out lots of forms and a massive internal revenue infrastructure.
Our politicians are not going to give up their cash cow, and they work very hard to keep the rubes covered in that cash cow's bullshit.
