ATR President Grover Norquist Testimony at Obama's Deficit Commission
Tuesday, July 6, 2010 2:52 PM
by Julie Borowski Below is a video of Americans For Tax Reform President Grover Norquist explaining the Obama Tax Hike Exemption Card. He explains that the purpose of ATR’s new clever Obama Tax Hike Exemption Card is to protect individuals making less than $250,000 from tax hikes. To quote Grover Norquist,
“This card a tangible reminder that Obama has deliberately broken his central campaign promise not to raise any form of taxes on Americans earning less than $250,000. The last President to break his tax pledge – Bush 41 – served only one term.”
Afterwards, the video shows Grover Norquist testifying before Obama’s Deficit Commission. He explains that the problem is that we are spending too much, not taxing too little. He believes that a feasible solution is to bring back the Byrd Committee which is a committee whose mission is to cut unnecessary federal expenditures. In addition, he explains that placing all bills online for 5 days to allow the American people to read the bills would promote fiscal responsibility. Furthermore, he states that the Obama Deficit Commission’s ideas should be brought forth 30 days before the next election so that the public can vote based on whether they agree with the commission’s recommendations. Please watch the video below to see Grover Norquist testifying on the problems of overspending at Obama's Deficit Commission.
Reader Comments:
Unless the commission addresses monetary reform, there is no hope of solving our budget/spending problems.
Why do we allow the Federal Reserve to charge interest on every Federal Reserve Note (the so-called Dollar) in existence that they created out of thin air? We get to pay hundreds of BILLIONS every year in personal and public debt.
Recommend that congress re-aquire their constitutional power of money and credit, and much of the\"debt problem\" goes away.
