No one wants to see anyone lose their job, but if it can be shown that abolishing the IRS will result in a better way to finance the federal government, why not change one of the governmental agencies that costs millions of dollars to operate and is most feared by the people. We have seen millions of hard working people in the private sector lose their jobs with what appears to be little concern from those at the federal level who are being paid by our tax dollars. Maybe it is time for the people who are paying the taxes to demand a change.

I've heard him say this several times.  He wants to keep a small office in Tresury to collect the tax payments.  So then I wonder - who is going to go after people that don't pay his flat tax?  The problem with abolishing the IRS, once again, is I don't think Ted Cruz has a clue what all they do and how they do it.  And who will audit Donald Trump or any other millionaire/billionaire to make sure they are paying their 35%?  Accountants and CPAs will have a field day.  While I agree with simplifying the tax code, saying you are going to abolish the IRS is crazy.  Taxes are our source of funding to get things done in this country - doesn't seem to me to be very smart to abolish the agency who collects, audits and goes after non-payers.
