Bush 41: ‘Who the hell is Grover Norquist, anyway?’
Former President George H.W. Bush, who famously said “Read my lips: no new taxes” at the 1988 Republican National Convention before going on to raise taxes during his presidency, does not think highly of pledges that keep lawmakers from hiking rates. He gave an interview to Parade magazine in which he knocks Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, whose organization has convinced hundreds of policymakers and candidates to sign a pledge promising never to raise rates.
What do you think about requiring lawmakers to make pledges against raising taxes?
