Quotes

Obama wants to take the individual small business tax to 44 percent, and the corporate rate - he says - down to 28 percent or whatever. But that really damages the small businesses. And it doesn't make us competitive. You got to take them both down to 20, because state and local corporate taxes are 5 percent. Grover Norquist
The American taxpayers are a powerful force. They don't want their taxes raised. Obama and the Democrats have a fight with the American people, not with me. Grover Norquist
I read murder mysteries. I exercise 40 minutes a day. I watch videotapes while I exercise. I listen to audiotapes when I am in my car. And I try to stay in three different centuries. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "Being married is kind of like being a Ken-doll; you don't get..."
Being married is kind of like being a Ken-doll; you don't get to dress yourself anymore. Grover Norquist
The question is: How do we reduce spending from 25% of GDP, which is where Obama put us? The focus is on total government spending. Can we bring it down, in a reasonable and politically acceptable way? That's what the Paul Ryan plan does. It puts us on a gradual reform path to reducing the size of government. Grover Norquist
I think it's very important to always make sure that you're talking to the entire coalition and to as many Americans as possible; not to go chasing after one little group or another. The Democrats would bring new groups into their party and not notice that larger groups are going out the back door. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "The important thing about tax reform is you make the tax code..."
The important thing about tax reform is you make the tax code less complicated, easier for people to understand. Grover Norquist
This always confuses liberals, that conservatives like the military and don't like the bureaucracy. That's because the military has their guns pointed out and the bureaucracy has them pointed in. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "Obama is a guy who claims to be unaware that there was a Tea..."
Obama is a guy who claims to be unaware that there was a Tea Party, a guy that's detached from the country. Grover Norquist
We want to reduce the size of government in half as a percentage of GNP over the next 25 years. We want to reduce the number of people depending on government so there is more autonomy and more free citizens. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "Wars are expensive and dangerous. They're not political winners."
Wars are expensive and dangerous. They're not political winners. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can..."
Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub. Grover Norquist
We should reduce total government spending as a percentage of the economy. The left wants to focus on the deficit so they can take us away from the focus on spending as a percentage of the economy. Grover Norquist
Grover Norquist quote: "My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to..."
My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub. Grover Norquist
As long as we're focused on spending, there are only two ways to do that: One is spend less, and Democrats have no solutions for that. Or we have pro-growth policies that make the economy grow so the dead-weight cost of government becomes a smaller percentage of the economy and therefore less expensive. Grover Norquist
