‘APattern of Lawlessness’: Ted Cruz Outlines Why Even Democrats Should Be ConcernedAbout Obama Administration’s Actions


"Texas Sen. Ted Cruz (R) said there is a “pattern of lawlessness” under wayby the Obama administration that is truly “breathtaking,” and it should not only concern Republicans.

“Suppose the next president says, ‘I’m instructing the Treasury Department [to]no longer collect taxes at a higher rate than 25%,” Cruz remarked on Glenn Beck’s radio program Tuesday. “That happens to be policy I agree with. I would love to see moving towards tax reform and lowering the top rates. And yet, that would be an extraordinarily bad outcome from the perspective of the Constitution and the protection of the liberty of the people.”

Until Congress is forbidden to lay and collect any tax calculated from profits,gains and other "incomes", returning us to our Constitution’s original tax plan, productive citizens will not only be singled out and enslaved under this discriminatory and despotic tax, but under the heal of our federal government who use it as a weapon to intimidate all those who dare to speak out against, or pose a threat to our Washington Establishment. Does Senator Cruz not realize this? Lowering top rates and keeping this tax alive does absolutely nothing to remove this power of taxation which is used to cause many of our miseries.

Have we not suffered enough under this tax to end experimenting with it and return to the wisdom of our Founder’s original tax plan, especially its rule requiring any general tax laid among the states to be apportioned?

“The apportionment of representation and taxation by the same scale is just; it removes the objection, that, while Virginia paid one sixth part of the expenses of the Union, she had no more weight in public counsels than Delaware, which paid but a very small portion” 3Elliot’s 41___ PENDLETON, during our Constitution’s ratification debates

Sen. Cruz is on his "A Pattern of Lawlessness" tour. He's not picking up much traction.

I have to ask... What is so wrong about Federal Government following the word of the US Constitution?
The very Government, We The People allow to exist, by having a US Constitution.
