MSNBC Grover Norquist the Dictator telling America we gatta listen to his reforms

[opihimoimoi]

He is a PRICK

A Noxious one

[tridim]

1. I'm pretty sure he's some kind of robot

He has no personality whatsoever and is singularly focused according to his programming.

[opihimoimoi]

6. He was hired..... his bosses got cheated

[Ilsa]

9. He can't be a robot. If he was really a robot, and if he had to live with

Asimov's Three Laws, he would be violating the first law: "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." :rofl:

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

2. He says imposing a "death tax" is double taxation

Not only does he ultimately want to do away with income tax, but he also wants no capital gains taxes (which he also calls double taxation). Who cares whether it's double taxation or not. If Norquist has his way, he will widen the wealth gap even more than it already is and create a permanent class of overlords, whose family fortunes continue snowballing dramatically, decade after decade. Norquist would have America owned nearly entirely by just a few ultra wealthy families. I don't care if higher taxes are fair or not, or whether there's double taxation. I want society to work for the most people. I want society to be efficacious.

3. The dude is a JUDAS...hired by the Mega Rich to stay Richer...Fat with 30 Pieces of Billion$$, he

drones on with GOPer tripe ....the man is PURE EVIL

[Proud Liberal Dem]

4. Everybody pays all kinds of double, triple, quadruple taxes

Just not everything is called "taxes".

[karynnj]

8. Given that the tax impacts the HEIRS, not the person who died,

it has NOT been taxed.

It is ridiculous that people can inherit $9 billion - as one very wealthy man's family did in 2009 when the tax was 0 and pay NO federal taxes at all. They after all are getting BILLIONS which is new money to them. Meanwhile a single mom working at McDonalds pays payroll taxes starting at dollar one.

Nothing will cause the shift of wealth to the top faster than allowing these estates to pass tax free.

11. Death Tax Discussion I Had

with the son of a billionaire.

He doesn't understand WHY, oh WHY will he have to pay taxes on his inheritance.
I said, if I won the lottery tomorrow, I would have to pay the taxes on it.
Why would you be excluded from paying taxes for basically the same thing?

There was a story several months back about a loophole wealthy land owners were using on their "party ranches" They came up with a clever idea years ago to rent goats and a couple chickens for their vacation ranches, and claimed AG status. Liberals Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell have been doing it for years and not only do they not pay property taxes on their Aspen home, they got $37,000 back from Pitkin County last year.

Local lawmakers actually got the loophole overturned.

Now I won't be paying more taxes on my tiny house than Tom Cruise does on his $18 million dollar spread in Telluride.

That's just one loophole out of thousands the rich use - and the great lengths they will go to - to not pay.

[Ilsa]

10. "Double taxation" is such a bogus argument. nt

[flpoljunkie]

14. Indeed. You cannot have a growing, functioning economy with all the money at the top.

[cliffordu]

5. Anyone who signs his pledge to follow HIS policy

instead of their congressional duties is


a fucking traitor pure and simple.

there is no other word for it.

[opihimoimoi]

7. The Nazis had a term...its BrainWashing......Them GOPers are easily FOOLED by the GOPer FOOLMEISTERS

The BAGGERS are so Easy.....TOO EASY.....

I cannot see too many here after 2012 elections

[Ikonoklast]

12. He's also killing the Republican Party.

The backlash against that toad is building within the party, he sees it coming, that's why he's been frantic as of late.


Norquist has lost control of the tax narrative, he knows Republicans will have to answer why they won't tax the 1% by their constituents, and are now deadly afraid of that question.

[and-justice-for-all]

13. I do not remeber voting for him, did I miss something??? nt
