Ted Cruz Launches His 2016 Campaign By Proclaiming God Wants You To Have No Healthcare



Ted Cruz Launches His 2016 Campaign By Proclaiming God Wants You To Have No Healthcare

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) launched his 2016 presidential campaign by announcing to the world that God wants a massive tax cut for the rich, and for tens of millions of Americans to lose their access to healthcare.

Video @ link~

Sen. Cruz laid out his vision for the kind of America that God wants:

Five years ago today, the President signed Obamacare into law. Within hours, Liberty University went to court filing a lawsuit to stop that failed law. Instead of the joblessness, instead of the millions forced into part-time work, instead of the millions who’ve lost their health insurance, lost their doctors, have faced skyrocketing health insurance premiums, imagine in 2017 a new president signing legislation repealing every word of Obamacare.

Imagine health care reform that keeps government out of the way between you and your doctor and that makes health insurance personal and portable and affordable.

Instead of a tax code that crushes innovation, that imposes burdens on families struggling to make ends met, imagine a simple flat tax… that lets every American fill out his or her taxes on a postcard.

Imagine abolishing the IRS.


In case anyone missed the point that God hates affordable healthcare, Cruz later added, “From the dawn of this country, at every stage America has enjoyed God’s providential blessing. Over and over again, when we face impossible odds, the American people rose to the challenge. You know, compared to that, repealing Obamacare and abolishing the IRS ain’t all that tough.”

According to Ted Cruz, God wants 16.4 million Americans to have no health care. God also wants a regressive flat tax that will benefit the wealthy while increase the tax burden on everyone else. What Cruz described was not God. It was the agenda of the Koch brothers.

because post cards are so high tech and innovative. Where do these people live; The 19th century?


The majority of individual taxpayers — 70 percent — file electronically, either on their own or via a tax preparer. Welcome to the 21th century Ted.

Rafael, you stupid shit, who do you think is going to administer this "simple flat tax that lets every American fill out his or her taxes on a postcard"? If you think the Boy Scouts are gonna do it, you're stupider than I thought.

And I thought that compared to you, Sarah Palin is a fuckin' Rhodes Scholar.
