Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist told Just the News that the Democrats' proposed tax increases to pay for their "behemoth" $3.5 trillion filibuster-proof social safety net spending bill would lead to Republicans taking back the House and "maybe" the Senate. Norquist was asked if he thinks moderate House Democrats in
districts that voted for former President Trump in 2020 would lose their seats if they support a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. "The dirty little secret in D.C. is there are no moderate Democrats in the House or the Senate," Norquist said during an interview about the tax hikes...

Grover Norquist blasts President Biden for rising inflation: 'First term of Jimmy Carter being replayed'

Grover Norquist blasted President Biden for pushing for trillions in new spending while the U.S. faces surging gas prices and rising inflation, likening him to former President Jimmy Carter. Biden initially proposed his $4 trillion spending plan as an "investment in America," but Republicans have pushed back at the price tag. Norquist
compared Biden's agenda to that of Jimmy Carter, who was president in the late 1970s when the U.S. was facing double-digit inflation and declining economic output, a scenario that spawned the term "stagflation."

Grover Norquist has seen the coming onslaught of Democratic taxes and regulations before. And
despite the likely hit it will have on the economy, personal incomes, and 401(k) retirement portfolios, he sees a potential upside that could stall or reverse the effects. “Joe Biden is doing exactly what [Bill] Clinton did to lose the House and Senate and exactly what Obama did to lose the House,” said the president of Americans for Tax Reform. “Massive tax hikes, massive spending, and then poking on the other issues,” he explained. And, he said, while former President Donald Trump also suffered midterm election...

Americans for Tax Reform founder Grover Norquist struck down the idea that Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden’s tax hikes will be good for people’s wallets and life savings. Fox
Business Host Stuart Varney questioned Norquist during Thursday’s edition of Varney & Co on the effects a “$2, $3, $4 trillion-dollar tax hike” would have on the economy if implemented right now. Norquist responded that when President Donald Trump and the Republicans “cut taxes” and “deregulated, the S&P 500” was “up 50 percent” from when the president got elected to the height of COVID. He continued: “Your life savings increased 50...

Organizations that vigorously oppose government spending took Paycheck Protection Program loans, including some that have criticized the CARES Act, which created the PPP program, according to data released by the Small Business Administration. Americans for Tax Reform Foundation, which says it “educates taxpayers on the true cost of government” and “the realities
of costly government programs,” received between $150,000 and $300,000 in loans. In a statement, Americans for Tax Reform claimed it “never opposed” the PPP program and defended the foundation’s decision to take government loans, which it said allowed the foundation to “maintain its employees without laying anyone off”...

Republicans [Luntz, Norquist] fear they've blown economic message that could have secured victory

Washington Examiner ^
| Nov. 4, 2018
For all the media fixation on the "lies" President Trump tells, sometimes he has an uncanny knack of telling the unvarnished truth. So
it was on Friday night when Trump told those gathered at a West Virginia rally: "Sometimes it’s not as exciting to talk about the economy because we have a lot of other things to talk about." That unscripted line left some Republican strategists nodding in agreement and wondering about what might have been. Republicans are bracing for the loss of the House of Representatives with operatives citing the lack of a coherent economic message and unnecessary distractions...

The head of Americans for Tax Reform says he's confident that reform package will be signed into law before December 12 Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-Ala.) cheered Thursday’s passage of a $1.5 trillion tax cut, but he was feeling as much trepidation as elation knowing his party’s number-one domestic policy goal is now

The new rates would be 0 percent, 12 percent, 25 percent, 35 percent and 39.6 percent. Yes,
the top rate would still be the same as what we have now... Business taxes that are now at 35 percent for American companies – one of the highest rates in the world – would fall to 20 percent immediately. China is at 25 percent. Canada is at 15 percent. Britain at 18 percent.

Ivanka teams with Norquist to boost tax-reform efforts

Ivanka Trump, the president’s daughter and a top adviser, jumped into the administration’s tax reform push on Wednesday, joining conservatives to promote an expansion of the child tax credit and later appearing onstage with her father at an event in North Dakota. Ms. Trump told conservative leaders that the administration is pushing
for “the largest child tax credit possible,” potentially doubling it to $2,000 per child, and said she wants to make it refundable against payroll taxes so that lower-income people who pay little or no federal income tax would still benefit.

On Friday, President Donald Trump told reporters that he is moving on after the Republican health care bill was pulled from a floor vote in the House of Representatives. As market and political analysts work to understand what the bill’s failure means for the future of tax reform, one outspoken advocate for
tax cuts expressed concern. Grover Norquist, president and founder of Americans for Tax Reform, a politically conservative organization that opposes all tax increases, said health care reform is an essential first step to achieving significant tax reform. “It has to go first in order to have a significant...

Gov. Chris Christie is touting Grover Norquist's support of 23-cent-per-gallon gas tax hike

Associated Press ^
| 6/29/16 | BRUCE SHIPKOWSKI
TRENTON, New Jersey — Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Wednesday touted an anti-tax crusader's endorsement of a proposed 23-cent- per-gallon gasoline tax hike along with a sales tax cut, sweeping aside objections raised by Democratic leaders in the state Senate and voicing confidence that the measure would be passed in that chamber.
Christie all but dared lawmakers not to act on his plan during a statehouse news conference, a day after the Assembly passed the plan to pay for a $2 billion a year transportation trust fund for eight years. The fund runs out of borrowing authority Friday, and Christie's...

His newest foreign policy advisor, Frank Gaffney, is a key player in the effort to remove Grover Norquist from the organization's board. Ted
Cruz named Frank Gaffney his foreign policy advisor on Thursday, a move that threatens to involve the Republican presidential contender in a contentious fight to get the party's most prominent anti-tax advocate kicked off the National Rifle Association's board. Gaffney once worked for President Ronald Reagan's Department of Defense and now runs the Center for Security Policy, a hyper-conservative think tank that promulgates theories about a Muslim Brotherhood conspiracy to infiltrate the U.S. government.

Grover Norquist's strange alliance with radical Islam (Tokyo Rove touts Muslim vote)

ON THE AFTERNOON of September 26, George W. Bush gathered 15 prominent Muslim- and Arab-Americans at the White House. With cameras rolling, the president proclaimed that “the teachings of Islam are teachings of peace and good.” (SNIP)
And he has done so to their mutual political benefit. During the 2000 campaign, Norquist urged Karl Rove to focus on the Muslim vote—pointing to, among other things, the thousands of Muslims in the key state of Michigan. By all appearances, the Bush campaign heeded Norquist’s advice. In an admirable departure from the usual Republican script, Bush frequently integrated mosques into his platitudes...

Anti-tax reformer says GOP front-runner's plan is 'pro-growth. Donald
Trump's new tax plan has passed muster with Grover Norquist, an architect of the anti-tax movement and a major player in Republican politics. "This is a pro-growth, Reaganite plan," Norquist tells me, referring to President Ronald Reagan, a favorite of conservatives. "It's a good plan....It's Republican orthodoxy with a little twist here and there." As a political matter, Trump's announcement of a tax proposal marks a new phase of his Republican presidential campaign in which he will try to show he is serious about problem solving. Up to now, he hasn't...

"For everyone who's a valedictorian, there's another 100 out there who weigh 130 pounds — and they've got calves the size of cantaloupes because they're hauling 75 pounds of marijuana across the desert," King tells Newsmax.
