Grover Norquist 'paralyzing Congress,' House Republican says - latimes.com
I am SO proud of him (and the other five who have not signed).
A House Republican tore into powerful anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist on Tuesday, blasting Norquists no-tax pledge for paralyzing Congress and listing off what he labeled unsavory associations.
Norquists group, Americans for Tax Reform, asks all candidates for office to promise not to raise taxes. In remarks on the House floor, Virginia Rep. Frank Wolf blamed Norquists pledge for preventing an open conversation about how eliminating tax credits and deductions could help reduce the deficit.
Have we really reached a point where one persons demand for ideological purity is paralyzing Congress to the point that even a discussion of tax reform is viewed as breaking a no-tax pledge? Wolf said.
