34. I've never understood the IRS obsession.

Even Cruz would admit we will have to collect some taxes to run the country. If the IRS is gone, where do they go? Is he going to put the Vice President in charge of taxation? Cruz is a simple-minded huckster hoping to gain fame and fortune in the manner of Glenn Beck and that's about it. People who read Seuss on the Senate floor cannot be taken seriously.

Cruz is trying to out ugly Trump and doing a pretty good job, too. sarge43 Jan 2016 #1
Cruz figures that he's got to go to the right of trump now to the 'true believers' big_dog Jan 2016 #5
