Lets all thank Grover Norquist for keeping politicians in check on tax increases

[One_Tycoon]

He is a personal hero of mine. One of the most influential men in U.S. politics. Grover Norquist makes almost every Republican sign the Americans for Tax Reform pledge to not vote for Tax increases under any circumstances. And while most wouldn't wanna increase taxes on principle anyway, there are some R.I.N.O.'s (Repub in name only) that would do it IF he didn't keep them on a leash with the Tax pledge. If they vote to increases taxes, Grover comes after them full force.

Kick-Ass interview.

Owned MSNBC shill who tried to corner him about his Tax pledge but couldn't.

Chris Matthews tried to bully Grover, but Grover remains calm, consistent and chops him down piece by piece. Take that Chris.

Bumping an oldie.

Now that Taxgaddon is upon us, can Grover find a way to stop the Tax increases after the bush tax cuts expire.

I mean, his control is to keep politicians from voting 'yes' on tax increases. Not much he can do if they're automatically going to get raised next year. Anyway....enjoy his classical schooling of Chris Matthews. Like a fine boxer, boxing circles around an overly aggressive C plus slugger.

anybody who utters the words "lets all thank grover norquist" deserves a beat down.

Oh common Jim. This is the man who pimp slaps those Republicans back in line who have impure thoughts of raising taxes. The guy the Liberals think is Satan.

I think we should let the Bush tax cuts expire (all of them) in exchange for the reinstatement of the Glass-Steagall Act and repeal of the Community Reinvestment Act.

I think we should let the Bush tax cuts expire. All of them.

And replace them with......?

It's a sad state when taxes are to go up automatically by default, because the so called 'tax cut' is about to expire. As if the govt is automatically entitled to our money and they're just giving us poor peasants a tax break/cut for a little while.

It should be the other way around. Tax increases should have an expiration date. Even the current rates are not tax cuts but high taxes. If they expire, the automatic default should be 0 Taxes until something new gets signed.
