The IRS has been a common target of 2016 Republican presidential candidates’ ire.
That played out during Thursday’s debate when Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Florida) tussled over the agency’s future.
Cruz criticized Rubio for leaving “the IRS code in with all of the complexity,” while Rubio said the agency couldn’t actually be scrapped as Cruz has proposed because some entity would need to collect Cruz’s proposed value-added tax.
