    It’s been their philosophy for a while now, Grover Norquist and his lame ass “don’t raise taxes” pledge was one of the first of their idiots saying the quiet part out loud, they just want to starve the beast to destroy our government and trust in it so that they can push forward with their neo-Confederaracy/neo-Feudalism.

      Grover Norquist was also the piece of shit who said he wanted the government so small that it could be drowned in a bathtub.

      And he did stand-up comedy in the D.C. area. Really. He must have been just hilarious, so I’m not sure why he hasn’t been given a Netflix special.
