    .@RepLouieGohmert's flat tax plan is an ideal antidote to the short-sighted Washington drive to raise tax rates: http://www.tedcruz.org/press-releases/2012/12/04/sen-elect-cruz-applauds-rep-gohmerts-proposal-for-a-flatter-fairer-tax-system/ …

        @the_hme @tedcruz @replouiegohmert Exactly who r those 2% you seem to enjoying punishing? Makes more sense to tax 47% slackers than 2% doers

        @tedcruz @replouiegohmert Makes more sense to pass flat tax so every American pays some tax rather than raising taxes only on job providers

        @tedcruz @replouiegohmert We are a small business that makes around $300k. The Obama's tax plan will hurt us. We need our money to grow.

        @tedcruz consumption tax would be better if and only if it were the only tax. Flat tax will only morph back into what we have today.
