Quote:Cruz has a voting record that backs up his rhetoric. Whether you like his policies or not is a different story, but he was/is the only candidate other than Rand Paul who would cut government spending.

I believe he would cut it, but only from social services, not from the defense contracting/big corporate tax credits, which is a much bigger problem IMO. If your gonna waste money, at least spend it on Americans, not building bombs to goto wars we don't need or subsidizing corn(why?).

 

Don't get me wrong, I support cutting back on basically everything but Social Security (cause you deserve back what you put in), but I don't like the current GOPe policy of only going after seniors, veterans, and poor for their cuts. We shouldn't be giving tax refunds in excess of what people and especially huge corporations like GE put in. 

 

Teds 10% tax plan is a joke that will get dumped the moment the election is over. I want the IRS gone as much as anyone else, but you have to tax at the effective rate, not some made up % (effective is around 18% for most citizens). And you have to make it for corporations also. We may have a 'high' sticker corporate tax rate, but in reality the 'net rate' is one of the lowest. A flat rate would be better for all involved, but I doubt 10% is enough to get rid of our debt.
