Grover Norquist and the Taxpayer Protection Pledge

[rhudsonrte66]

How did he become so powerful. He gives every one who signs the pledge a blowjob. I've heard from insiders that when it comes to fellacio Grover is God.

Grover Nordquist is simply another paid agent for the rich, plain and simple. With the Bush tax cuts in place, and a tax code that heavily favors the rich, of course the rich don't want anything to change.  Grover is funded by the rich to make sure this iniquity is perpetuated. I have faith that eventually, the 99% of Americans getting screwed by this guy, will rise up and vote his pledge signing minions out of office.

@DanMonsterMan

Sorry about the typo. I meant "inequity. "

[indymodpov]

It's not your right to have more influence than the tax-payers about what should be done with the tax code. You are an economic terrorist and like all terrorists the United States Government should not negotiate with you.

NO taxes is not tax "reform" it's thuggery, at the expense of the American public.

[hottpoker]

We know that governments operate on the taxes collected from individuals or corporations, so is unamerican to be trying to subvert the order by advocating refusal to pay a fair amount of taxes on the money earned. So, it would appear that anybody that pledges to withdraw the funds that institutions need to operate in benefit of the majorities and by pledging allegiance to this clown instead of the United States of America could be considered treasonous to the funding principles of this country.

This guy us a traitor and really hates the United States, he should be treated had a traitor since he has helped crush America in Debt. What a POS

[sep0507]

This clown follows the Ronald Reagen plan of lower taxes. It takes money to run the govt and he wants to deny any tax increases because he imagines it hurts the dems by denying them funds for their entitlement programs. What an idiot! He doesn't give a rats ass about anyone but the rich, same as Reagan. Reagan got into politics to SPECIFICALLY lower the taxes on the wealty after maikng big money in Hollywood. His admin ran up a debt that took years to erase and this joker wants to do the same.

[OmarThePug]

How about no new debt..why don't we get a pledge on that?

[taxreformer]

How would you go about structuring that pledge?

The top 1% pay very little in taxes as a percent of their income. They claim that they are burdened by taxes yet seem to get live just fine on what they make. If a family can't live well on less than one million dollars net income, they need to cut back or get a better financial planner.

[eelzen]

Eight years of war, waste, and broken government is not pro taxpayer. Damn, it's not even conservative.

[didpubs]

I find it interesting that he focuses on no tax increases yet does not have any interest in a balanced budget nor a pay as you go system. I think that this man is a shill for the top 1%.

[1prouddemocrat]

Of course he is. I've had the misfortune of meeting Grover Norquist. He is every bit the condescending and partisan individual he seems to be. Which is fine as people would say I'm a partisan Democrat. He just pretends he's not a partisan Republican when he VERY clearly is. That is what I object to.

[tingoat84]

No new taxes....but spend spend spend...that's ok. The guy obviously flunked math. Let a Democrat run a guvment like Bush has and watch these guys howl.  Hypocrites and morons all.

[corryton]

How did this weasel become so powerful?

[dekay5555555]

No new taxes

Bridge collapses

This guy is a paid operative. He should be ashamed at how he is ruining life for fellow human beings.

What about the amount of tax dollars wasted in Iraq?

We build bridges over there so we do not have to build them over here.
