“Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns, and they spit on your faith. And because the Democratic Party was taken over by the aggressive secular guys, they became hostile not just to conservative Catholics and evangelical Christians, but Orthodox Jews and Muslims and Mormons.”

American political activist and anti-tax advocate

Grover Norquist is an American political activist and anti-tax advocate. He is the founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, and has been a prominent Republican voice in fiscal politics. He is best known for promoting the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a commitment by lawmakers to oppose tax increases, including higher marginal rates and changes that cut deductions or credits without offsetting rate cuts. Before the November 2012 election, the pledge had been signed by 95% of Republican members of Congress and by all but one candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.
