GROVER NORQUIST'S TAX CUT CRUSADE

摘要

Grover norquist is political white heat right now. That's why the reception area at his office today is lined with favor seekers. That's why Karl Rove is on the phone. That's why the Treasury Secretary is coming to Norquist's house for dinner. And that's why there is a four-foot-long sword that looks as if it belongs on a medieval killing field on the conference room table. Norquist's voice will be one of the loudest in the coming debate over taxes― and he plans to get medieval on the tax code. Norquist, 48, is the president of Americans for Tax Reform, a group committed to setting the tactical agenda of the right wing in D.C. The group opposes all tax increases and is pushing for a lower, singlerate tax system. Ultimately Norquist wants to cut the federal government in half.
