If you wanted proof Cruz and Paul are full time RInos and worse supporters of the socialist left you have only to look at the words VAT. That crosses out all the garbage on the republicans list short of Carly F. taking Hillary's place and using Jindal as a VP running mate for his vote getting power.

Is there anyone, anyone out there stupid enough to think VAT which is a tax on an host of imbedded taxes will be paid by anyone except the consumer look in the mirror and say now I have seen the face of stupid.

For the last time get real get a life and pay attention businesses DO NOT PAY taxes they collect taxes for the government and ldeduct the cost of collection in the Cost of Government column which comes right after the legitimate costs of doing business column and immediately precedes Profit.

What a bunch of air head morons and you wanted these two as alternates to Hillary? Why? The left is going to get what they want either way but these to sneaks shouldn't be part of it.

Rand Paul and Cruz are NOT Republicans nor do I think they are Republicans in Name Only they are just garden variety run of the mill left wing socialists. and with the use of that idiotic plan are not in the right wing of the left nor even the center.

RANT RANT RANT....OK I'm done....

Who does that leave ...Rubio and they haven't even used the Bimbo Brigade yet. that ought to prove interesting? Seven million in debt whose going pay for the hookers this time?


Ediit they aren't Value Added they add nothing to the value of a product or service instead they are Value Subtracted. Thank God for Walmart and the Dollar stores or you would all be eating Chinese at French Restaurant prices.

NO! A flat tax is just a fascist income tax in disguise whose purpose is still control not income. In the beginning it was 7% on the wealthy . Within a very few years it reached 77%. What's to prevent a flat tax from doing the same thing and what's to prevent tax breaks for Gates, Soros, Lewis and all the others who can afford to buy them especially if they get direct interference rights with the elections of other states or municipalities within their states.

The only form I've seen besides the tariffs authorized are an end user consumption tax with a set level that cannot be raised without an Amendment and a provision denying the government the right to go into debt with two exceptions and with only one exemption with no exceptions)

Authorized debt

Natural Disaster Funding and War. But must be addressed as a debt as the first budget item of the following year.

Authorized Exemption.

Right to Life based on the principle that the government has zero business taking from the citizens that which they need simply to exist. Food, Shelter (one per family), clothing, medical expenses, air to breathe and water to drink.

With a set amount per adult and per child per annum and used at the rate of 1/12 per month based on a true evaluation of Cost of Living including those costs such as devaluation and debt repudiation caused by the government or others.)"

As for welfare make it a direct ratio of minimum wage to encourage working and the difference to be decided locally.

I would add these provisions

No Funding No Mandate.

None of Those Listed to all measures or candidate regardless of number.

Votes once cast may not be given to another candidate or measure.

Winner must have 50% plus one of those registered.

If a citizen may not vote in any geo-political area they may not contribute to geo-political areas outside their own as defined by the precinct voters guide and ballot and funds, materials, or labor contributed could not be used outside those geo-political areas.

This cleans up soft money, vote buying, influencing selection of candidates or measures by outside interests etc.

Can it be done? Of Course. But not until we go back under the Constitution and never if we continue to accept totalitarian forms of government.

the Cutoff? When it's a nation of free individuals upholding their responsibilities of honoring the freedom of the rest of their fellow citizens and controlling their servants the government.

Or until the military forces the change following it's oath of office.l
