House Republican lawmakers want out of Norquist tax pledge

[PoliticAverse]

Grover Norquist’s grip on the House Republican Conference is loosening.

A growing number of GOP lawmakers have disavowed Norquist’s pledge against supporting tax increases in recent days, telling The Hill they no longer feel bound to uphold a document that they signed, in some cases, more than a decade ago.

Norquist’s advocacy group, Americans for Tax Reform, lists 238 House signers of its Taxpayer Protection Pledge, but several House Republicans, and at least one Democrat, now say the anti-tax group is being deceptive and want their names taken off the list.

7. Naw. They want out of the pledge so they can raise

taxes on the working class and poor in order to keep their MIC running. They STILL wouldn't raise taxes on the wealthy.

4. Why don't they pull themselves up by their bootstraps? That's what they tell people

who can't find work to do.

5. Who the fuck made

Norquist a political leader. His dubious ties to convicted felon Jack Abramhoff should have made him radioactive, but hey, he's a Republican leader, and everyone knows Republican leaders............
