Ted Cruz had some very harsh words for Donald Trump this week, making what might have been the most strident criticism of the GOP frontrunner from any of his competitors.
Speaking on the Fox News Channel this past Wednesday, the Texas senator told host Megyn Kelly that he wasn’t surprised that Trump was, as he put it, “trying to stir up riots” if he lost the Republican nomination. The remark was in reference to a prediction by Trump that his supporters would be very upset if the GOP establishment ended up using underhanded methods to force an unpopular candidate like Jeb Bush on them.
Cruz’s criticism came relatively shortly after he attacked Trump earlier that day, claiming that the real estate tycoon is skipping a debate organized by Fox because he finds Kelly, who will be moderating, to be a “very, very terrifying person” and hates to be challenged.

In addition to impugning Donald Trump’s courage, Cruz took a swing at his views on foreign policy and the Middle East in particular. Taking issue with a recent statement by Trump that he would remain “neutral” in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, Cruz was positively incredulous that anyone could take such a position:
“‘Cruz added that Trump’s reason for cancelling, that he had a speech at AIPAC at the same time is ‘silliness, and it reflects his assumption that he thinks the voters can’t figure out that he’s not telling them the truth. Listen, AIPAC would have allowed him to spoke at any time, it’s a multi-day conference. He chose to speak right in the middle of the debate because he’s scared to debate. And he just — he looks down on the voters. He thinks they’re gullible and will believe whatever he’s saying. So I’m going to be in DC for AIPAC as well, and since Donald is running away from the debate, I’m happy to debate him there. If he wants, we can debate foreign policy, but the problem is, Donald doesn’t do well on foreign policy because he doesn’t have even a basic modicum of knowledge. Two debates ago, Donald explained that if he were president, he’d be neutral between Israel and the Palestinians. That is a stunning statement. It’s the nonsense you hear from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. I’ll tell you, Megyn, if I’m president, I will not be neutral. America will stand unapologetically with Israel. And it says something about Donald Trump, if he can’t tell the difference between our friends and allies, if he can’t tell the difference between Israel and Islamic terrorists who want to murder us, that raises real questions about his fitness and his judgment to be commander-in-chief. And so, I’m happy to debate him in Utah, where the debate was supposed to happen, or DC, or anywhere else. But I suspect Donald will continue to running and hiding and basking in the protection from the network media, that is trying to do everything they can to make him the nominee, because they know he’s the one candidate on the face of the planet that Hillary Clinton can beat in the general election.'”

Ted, At least he is not taking points from you, like you are of him, he is earning his. That is how you have what you got.
Donald Trump’s tax plan lowers corporate tax to create a more conducive environment for business growth. He will impose taxes on all goods being brought into the country from foreign countries that don’t play fair. Corporations will try to raise the price of their goods to shift this cost to their consumers, which would lead to their goods being expensive. Corporations who have industries in America will be able to avoid these taxes hence provide goods at a cheaper cost, leading to people purchasing more of their goods, increasing their profits and business growth. This will incentivize all corporations to open plants and relocate their industries back to America or be out competed from companies located in America this will create millions of high quality jobs.
All while Trump builds a wall to closes our border, stops h-1b visas to prevent corporations importing cheap skilled immigrant labor to force corporations to hire locally. And with more jobs and employers not having access to foreign labor from Mexico, Pakistan and India like they do now, corporations and companies will start paying workers what they are worth to avoid losing quality employees to competing organisations. Hence corporations would work to improve working conditions and worker benefits to motive good workers to stay with their organisations. Employers should have to negotiate with their employees, but today employees have no leverage to negotiate because employers know that they don’t have much options due to job shortage, but this will never happen as long as the country has more workers than jobs, giving employers all the leverage to underpay and mistreat employees knowing that jobs are hard to find and people are desperate. Good workers should be hard to replace, because they should already be employed. Only Trump really knows how to bring back jobs.
Trump’s simplified 3 page, 4 bracketed tax plan charges 0% tax on people earning below $25,000, it ELIMINATES the marriage penalty, AMT, the death tax and closes ALL big business loopholes by guaranteeing all businesses fall within its respective tax bracket and pays the associated tax charge associated with that category. He will reduce the size of government making it more efficient etc.
-With people earning higher wages, hence providing more to the government in taxes.
-With FAR more corporations in America providing taxable incomes
-With Trump’s repatriation of corporate cash held overseas discounted 10% tax rate plan to incentivize corporations to bring back their money back into the American banks hence economy
-With his reduced 15% income tax rate on small businesses, jobs creators, freelancers, sole proprietors, this will provide a tremendous stimulus for the economy.
Trump will easily pay off our national debt and achieve significant GDP growth. We need a real businessman to clean up our government, stop big money’s influence in politics and make us the strong country we know we can be.
