exactly right his plan is is a good
plan and I will note that my 10 percent plan
0:05
also eliminates the payroll tax
eliminates that yes
0:09
eliminates the business in 10
percent flat rate we're gonna go to any
0:15
candidate up here has and what it
would also enable us to do is for every
0:20
citizen to fill out their taxes on a
postcard so we can eliminate the IRS
TED CRUZ ON SAVING
SOCIAL SECURITY
0:00
well sure looked the this deal in
Washington as an example of why
0:03
washington's broken republican
leadership joined with every single
0:07
democrat at 80 trillion to our debt
to do nothing to fix the problems and and
0:12
let me note on social security as we
were getting into a good substitute
0:15
exchange and I want to say I think
both Chris and Mike are right governor
0:19
Huckabee is exactly right we need to
honor the promises made to our seniors
0:23
but for younger workers look I'm 44
years old it is hard to find someone my
0:28
generation that thinks social
security will be there for us we can save and
0:33
preserve and strengthen Social
Security by making no changes for seniors but for
0:37
younger workers gradually increasing
the retirement age
0:41
changing the rate of growth so that
it matches inflation and critically
0:45
allowing younger workers to keep a
portion of our tax payments in a
0:50
personal account that we only
control and we can pass on to our kids

0:13
a family of four pays nothing on the
first thirty six thousand after that you
0:18
pay 10% is a flat tax going up the
billionaire and the working man no hedge
0:24
fund manager plan pays less than a
secretary on top of that there's a
0:28
business flat tax of 16% now that
applies universally two giant
0:34
corporations that with lobbyists
right now are not paying taxes and a small
0:38
businesses and you wanted to know
the numbers the Tax Foundation which has

HOW ABOUT TALKING ABOUT THE SUBSTANTIVE ISSUES PEOPLE CARE ABOUT,
PEOPLE DON'T TRUST THE MEDIA
0:00
you know let me say something at the
outset the questions that
0:04
so far in this debate illustrate why
the american people don't trust the media

math john Kasich will you insult to

0:24
Marco Rubio why don't you resign Jeb
Bush why of your numbers followed how
0:29
about talking about the subsidy
issue
0:41
the contrast with the democratic
debate where every funding question from the
0:48
media was which of you is more
handsome and why's this thirty seconds left to
0:56
answer should you choose to do so
let me be clear that many women on this stage
1:03
have more ideas more experienced
more common sense then every participant in
1:09
the democratic debate that debate
reflected a debate between the
1:13
bolsheviks and mention sex and
nobody watching at home believes that any of
1:21
the moderators has any intention of
voting in the Republican primary the
1:26
questions that are being asked
shouldn't be trying to get people to tear into
1:30
each other it should be what are
your substance
