In case you missed it, ATR President Grover Norquist logged in to the Washington Post live chat to answer questions ranging from the debt ceiling and deficit reduction to foreign aid and fairness.
Here’s a sample of what you might have missed:
Q. Tax Pledge
What are the repercussions for those GOP members who vote to raise revenues or spending?
(July 13, 2011 10:21 AM )
A. Grover Norquist :
Congressmen or Senators who have signed the taxapayer protection pledge promising their citizens that they will oppose and vote against tax increases who then vote for tax hikes have to answer to the voters.
When [George] H.W. Bush did just this in 1990 he lost the 1992 election. There are consequences to raising taxes.
(July 13, 2011 12:00 PM )Q: Tax increase
How can you continue to support a no tax increase policy when there are obviously very good reasons to increase taxes with reduced government spending? Your hardline position does not seem to be in the best interest of this nation and the majority of its people.
(July 13, 2011 10:38 AM)
A. Grover Norquist :
Thank you for your comments.
You are wrong.
(July 13, 2011 1:13 PM )Q: Deficit
You are on record as stating that a larger deficit is better than higher taxes. Is there any level of deficit where this position might change?
(July 13, 2011 10:45 AM )
A. Grover Norquist :
My position is now and has always been that taxes are already too high.
W[e] should focus on reducing spending. Not hiking taxes to pay for overlarge and overbearing [government].
Obama is spending too much of your money. He should spend less of other people's money. [Not] go take more to continue spending.The focus is on lowering spending. That is the goal.
Raising taxes does not help reduce spending.
(July 13, 2011 12:08 PM)Q: Minnesota
Why is the Minnesota budget shutdown important from a national perspective?
(July 13, 2011 12:06 PM
A. Grover Norquist :
[G]ood example of a tax and spend executive trying to force the legislature to increases taxes.
Just say no.
(July 13, 2011 1:15 PM)Q: Debt Limit
Why do you think that a small minority of anti-tax people have the right to stop the passage of bills that benefit the majority?
(July 13, 2011 11:05 AM)
A. Grover Norquist :
Do you think a large [motorcycle] gang is allowed to mug a handful of tourists[?]
