Grover Norquist

A House bill introduced earlier this year would bar the IRS from offering taxpayers software that would compete with programs like TurboTax. In March, Grover Norquist and others wrote a letter to members of Congress that urged them to support the bill — what they called a “pro-taxpayer, anti-IRS power grab legislation.”

Anti-tax lobbyist Grover Norquist expressed confidence on CNN on Monday that any last-minute deal to avert the fiscal cliff would not cause tax rates to increase, even for wealthy Americans.

"When you're $16 trillion in debt, the only pledge we should be making to each other is to avoid becoming Greece, and Republicans should put revenue on the table. We're this far in debt. We don't generate enough revenue. Capping deductions will help generate revenues. Raising tax rates will hurt job creation. I agree with Grover that we shouldn't raise rates, but I think Grover is wrong when it comes to we can't cap deductions. [...] I will violate the pledge, long story short for the good of the country, only if Democrats will do entitlement reforms.
