Grover Norquist does not represent taxpayers, no one voted for him. Norquist represents Americans for Tax Reform, which definitely is a special interest group.
Norquist is able to command an audience. Check his wifes background. I have heard him stir up conservative audience but will not stay around for Q and A. Trust factor not high on my list.
We’ll agree to disagree. The tax pledge was not a pledge of allegiance to Grover Norquist or his organization, or any organization. It was an across-the-board proomise to never vote to raise taxes, period. The only “interest” involved is the general interest of taxpayers. The classification of taxpayers as a “special interest” is an old Democrat trick, and it’s pretty sickening.
