Millions and millions. I was recently looking at the figures for Microsoft, who Grover Norquist Lobbies for. Cpac's Suhail Khan is director of external affairs.
[snip]Microsoft - TOP ISSUES LOBBIED, 2012
1. Taxes - HINT: Norquist & ATR aren't lobbying for higher taxes for Bill Gates!
2. Immigration
3. Telecommunications
4. Computers & Information Tech
5. Copyright, Patent & Trademark
Do you know who his biggest lobbyists are.....The K St. goons who facilitate his liberal agenda? That might surprise you.
[SNIP]”Yesterday, Grover Norquist’s weekly Americans for Tax Reform conclave was the venue for an announcement by Suhail Khan that he was becoming director for external affairs for Microsoft.
Khan’s transformation into a corporate lobbyist comes amidst rising concerns in conservative circles about his longstanding family and personal ties to the Muslim Brotherhood (MB or Ikhwan) in America and his positions in favor of such MB priorities as building the Ground Zero mosque, closing Guantanamo Bay.... dissembling about shariah, etc. “
THAT would be the same radical Islam apologist Suhail Khan, CPAC organizer & board member AND Grover Norquist, CPAC organizer , founder of the Islamic Institute & Microsoft lobbyist, friend of the American Conservative Union...who happens to also be for AMNESTY.
An article explains how the Norquist scam works:
Take General Electric, which faced withering, bipartisan criticism last year when it was revealed that the company, thanks to a myriad of tax credits and other tax subsidies, had paid no federal income taxes in 2010. Norquist was there to defend the company in a chat with The Washington Post, arguing absurdly that removing billions in tax rebates to GE would just be a tax on consumers. Cutting GE’s tax credits, after all, would break the Norquist pledge.
In a recently posted 2011 giving report, General Electric says it made a contribution of $50,000 to Norquist’s foundation that year.
Consider that—GE gave more to Norquist in 2011 than it paid the IRS for income taxes in 2010, a year the corporation made $14.2 billion in profits.
Then he sends out volumes of fund raisers for ATR and his various other conservative sounding 'non profits' to loyal conservatives so they can send their money to him to facilitate the likes of GE and Microsoft! And IT'S all legal! Lying and using US citizens to bring about amnesty to profit our enemies is just another day at the office for Norquist and Khan.
Bottom line? Conservatives, you are paying for your own demise while Grover & Khan are raking in your hard earned money at CPAC and the ACU! They don't care about poor aliens, and they don't care about YOU!
