"Pretty please with sugar on it, cut the f'ing taxes."
How about if we stop worrying about “Tax reform” and start worrying about “cutting spending”?
Cut the spending and we can pay down the debt.
I just don’t want Norquist involved with anything because he’s an islamo sympathizer
Sounds like the Wolf is a crying boy..............
Mr. Wolf, ‘taming the nation’s debt’ is 100% dependent on cutting spending...in a massive way. The tax code should be cleaned up, but Norquist is not preventing that. He is preventing the typical cop out of Washington that raising rates is a solution to over-spending.
Cut spending, and significantly. That is why we sent you there in the first place.
More bullsht propaganda from Politico.
Maybe Norquist is a petro-Manchurian, after all.
Wolf is my rep. He is a poor excuse for a conservative, all talk and no action. He wants to be the lead engineer for deficit cutting, but now the train is leaving the station without him. Also, he is absolutely the king of pork in my area, and sends out lots of glossy pamphlets at taxpayer expense boasting about how much money he has spent.
Another gutless wonder who thinks the country is undertaxed.
“top House Republican [Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va.] on Tuesday attacked conservative tax activist Grover Norquist in a blistering floor speech, saying his no-taxes pledge has “paralyzed” Congress from tackling the deficit.
Hey, Frank:
How about first concentrating on cutting spending levels that have us borrowing 40 cents on every dollar spent. Get that under control and THEN we can talk about “tax reform”.
And tht “tax reform” should be repeal of the 16th amendment and replacement of the income/slave tax with the Fair Tax.

NO NEW TAXES AND NO MORE DIMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Years ago I read a book (I believe the title was Coup D’Etat).
The author listed some of the reasons why a government is overthrown. You would not be surprised to hear one was over taxation.
He pointed out there is no clear point when the population turns to violence against their government when they are over taxed, but does point out there is a point. A wise government tries to stay below that point.
A stupid government does not care and will keep raising taxes regardless of what the population says. Stupid governments do not stay in power long (relatively speaking).
We are not in our current financial mess today because of lack of money going into the treasury. It is because our government is spending more money than it has coming in.
There are two solutions to this.
1. Raise Taxes (which the progressives wants)
2. Cut spending (which the Tea Party wants)
The progressives have big media, the Democrats, the unions, the welfare people, the universities and so on, on their side. A very powerful group.
The tea party has history on their side. They, the Tea Party, will eventually win because history indicates that progressive can not win.
The problem for us is how badly will our nation be hurt before the progressives are swept away into the dust bin of history?
The old Soviet Union provides some hope. They, unlike us, did not have a long history of capitalism, but they picked it up quickly enough.
(As a side note, it is interesting to see that religion is making a comeback in the old Soviet Union as well). This tells me a powerful government can keep someone from talking about their religion, but it can not change what is in a person’s heart.)
If he’s a “Top House Republican” why don’t I know who he is?
Mr. Wolf is exactly that, in sheep’s clothing. In other words, a RINO.
No old taxes.
No real conservative pays any attention to Norquist.
Cut spending, then have tax reform, with no increases.
Frank Wolf, heh.. Says he himself doesn’t support tax increases but wants them on the table.
I have little use for Norquist, but Wolf is a liar and a scumbag.
