defend the indefensible: grover norquist

No, taxes are people stealing stuff from you. Altruism or charity is not, “I earned a dollar and somebody came and stole it.” It won’t feel good when somebody mugs me.

Are you a radical individualist? Do you believe that society has no role other than funding the military and providing a modicum of social order?

If you have a 5-year-old who threw a kitten off a multistory building, and you went and said, "Why did you throw the cat off the building?" He might say, "I thought it could fly." You'd explain cats can't fly. But, if when he was 25, he kept doing this, and there was a pile of dead cats outside the building, you would come to think he didn’t like cats.

It's possible that the 5-year-old just didn't see the cat at the bottom. But the 25-year-old, every time he goes out of the front door, he's seeing a pile of dead cats—and he keeps at it. So I think the 25-year-old liberals know what damage they are doing, and they don't care. And the 5-year-old liberals are just trying to see if the cats will fly.

would love to see gary younge interview grover

vaping brings happiness, that's all that matters

28% of people may have their taxes raised. Shouldn’t he be speaking out in opposition?

Liberal voters will always cling to their fantasy of taxing their way to easy fixes. Conservative voters understand there are no easy fixes, and getting America back on track is going to take time and a lot of sacrifice and effort.

going to take time and a lot of sacrifice and effort

NB: only when the time, sacrifice and effort do not involve giving up any money, or any opportunities to make money, or one's leisure, or material goods. Good cloning of the rhetoric, though.

weirdo #vapelife burning man grover is way preferable to "tax reform advocate" asshole grover

yes

I prefer non-existent Grover

I pledge to

ONE, oppose any and all efforts to increase the marginal income tax rates for individuals and/or businesses; and

TWO, oppose any net reduction or elimination of deductions and credits, unless matched dollar for dollar by further reducing tax rates.

in the spirit of the thread title

1. “Grover Norquist” is an amazing name. It really is.
2. He is a fully realized character - if you read a novel with e.g. Paul Ryan in it, you’d groan every time he popped up, and assume (correctly) that the author was taking the piss, as they say - but you could probably read a 7-volume saga with Grover Norquist in it and develop strong opinions and feelings about the guy, and maybe even like him
3. When he turns, you know it’s going to be good. If he goes to the grave as he is, at the very least, he’s established a handy reference for the philosophy he espouses and he has never made any bones about the logical ends of his line of thinking.

it's all about his squinty little snake eyes

grover's continuing silence on these issues challenges my faith in the sincerity of 'americans for tax reform' and their holy pledge :(
