6 weeks ago I might have actually agreed with you but between calling cruz's wife ugly and the abortion thing I realized that this probably isn't true

I unironically approve, gently caress Cruz for voting against disaster relief.

Tom Cole of Oklahoma legitimately has my respect for always voting in favor of disaster relief instead of voting against and/or joining in the poo poo politicizing of disaster relief votes.

Trump is not ideological. It's ok to like him or his ideas if you are a democrat.

I'm still amazed that there's a candidate with a chance at winning the nomination that wants to shut down the IRS.

I kind of want Cruz to win just so he can start having to answer serious questions about his insane platform.

eh, he managed to dress up his opposition to ethanol subsidies and still win IA. He's very consistently hardcore small gov't - though I admit he's giving up ground on military recently - and has prepackaged conservative answers ready to go

President Cruz would almost be worth it to see the looks in their eyes when he's inaugurated and immediately begins pursuing a highly publicized policy of aggressive subsidy cuts

I still don't understand this simple taxes thing. Isn't every weird instruction you have to follow when doing your taxes the result of someone trying to exploit it? Which is to say, all that stuff really is necessary?

Yup.

It's also how most rich fucks get their tax breaks - by exploiting all the little intricacies.

First NJ pol I've seen recently

Breaking the 50-percent mark in New Jersey for the first time since announcing his candidacy last summer, Trump was named by 52 percent of registered Republican voters as their first choice if they had to cast their primary vote today.

So you're saying that if the tax code was simple it would be exploited, and if it is intricate it also gets exploited? So we should just give up on taxing rich fucks entirely?

The most telling thing to me that there is no real republican establishment, and that there are no party bosses running the show - is that they are trying to take the nomination from Donald Trump, and give it to, of all people, Ted Cruz. The most toxic man in Washington, and among the general electorate. The establishment didn't lose control, they never had it and it never existed.[b] The republican party is chaos, there is no one in charge. Prince Reibus is a figurehead who'se only job is to tweet about the GOP once a month and raise money.

You don't strike me as very intelligent.

The progressive tax system works when the taxes are actually progressive. The loopholes just get them out of paying what is already a drastically reduced tax rate. Basically we kept the loopholes but dropped the rates and everything is crumbling
