Norquist: Letting the Payroll Tax cut expire is NOT a tax hike. Letting the Bush Tax Cut expire IS. [View all]

So let me see if I understand this correctly. Grover Norquist says that letting the TEMPORARY Payroll Tax expire--(which pretty much just effects the middle class and the poor)-- is NOT a tax hike. It is not raising taxes on the middle class or the poor, it is just making them pay their fair share of taxes without that unfair TEMPORARY tax cut.

OK...so I'm clear on what Norquist thinks.

But then, why is ihe now saying that the TEMPORARY Bush Tax Cuts are about to expire and that IS a tax hike.

Ah, poor people, middle class lose a tax cut and that is NOT a tax hike. Rich people lose a tax cut and that is raising taxes.

SO, in the end, with Grover's pledge, shouldn't it be reworded to say: NO TAX HIKES FOR THE RICH, NO TAX CUTS FOR THE POOR?

Either way, Grover Norquist is not America. Our elected officials do not work for him. I personally believe that if you sign something like Norquist's Pledge that you disqualify yourself to run for office. You have already sworn, by signing your name to Grover, that your allegiance is not to the United States as required by the oath of office. By signing you've given allegiance to an independent person who is making up his own rules like a demagogue.
