Grover 'bathtub' Norquist complains about taxes. You'd think he'd oppose expensive, wasteful wars.

He's actually decomposing fecal matter

He along with Reagan helped create a tax averse society, which has allowed for massive tax cuts for the rich, massive deregulation (leading to the Savings and Loan debacle, Enron, Media consolidation, the subprime bust and the list goes on) and defunding and mismanagement of government programs to make the case for more privatization.

For that reason he should always be an honorary "worst person in the world".

This clown and his narrow minded "misguiding numbskull" do a fine job of omitting so much information from his little pie chart that it's definitely playing to the simple minded geriatrics that sita and watch this nonsense all day long.

I know every politician can skew the information, but these clowns take the cake. Worthless propaganda.

"WAAAAAAAAA!" Talk about a nation of whiners! Why is Grover still whining about taxes? If Grover has a complaint about the cost of government why doesn't he just write a letter to his hero George? He was the one that was suppose to "fix" everything that was so screwed up when he took office. 7 1/2 years later Grover can hardly hold back his tears. What went wrong Grover?

And the reason is that Canada has made a success of the 'middle way' which combines individual enterprise with collective social responsibility. Norquist obviously isn't familiar with Adam Smith who said ENLIGHTENED self interest, meaning it's good to be enterprising but not at the expense of your country or society. Gawd, Norquist must have been bullied terribly as a child to have so much contempt for the rest of society.

if norquist slipped in the bathtub.....

What a dweeb. He sounds like a cartoon mouse or something.

And what baloney!

80 days out of 365....not bad.

Deficits? Who created those?

Local taxes rise because they don't get $$$$ from the feds, because of lack of tax revenue.

Privatizing government programs ALWAYS cost more.

How about making Corporations pay their share. Add to that the taxes churches should be paying...and their companies. Then we could all get a personal tax break!

Of course no complaints on wasted TRILLIONS on Iraq and no bid contracts. No mention of the essentials Grover (see...a cartoon mouse)and his ilk take for granted and taxes pay for.

The Gov is about to take 45% of my inheritance. Ouch! But I'm not gonna whine. I do wish it would go to the NEA instead of Bechtel!

I love how it's like a late night infomercial.

"You're so right, Grover"

"Oh yes"

"Absolutely"

"Really! Tell me about it!"


How do people watch Fox News? It's like bad QVC.
