Not Over for Grover

November 26, 2012 · 1:36 pm ET · Leave a Comment

The Economist: “By any standard other than the absurdly high one he has set himself,
though, Mr Norquist continues to dominate Washington’s tax debate.
Almost all revenue-raising proposals hinge on eliminating deductions,
rather than raising marginal rates. If Mr Obama does succeed in raising
the income-tax rate for the richest, it will have taken him two
elections and all manner of fiscal face-offs and crises to get his
way–and success is still far from assured. Even scrapping an
economically nonsensical subsidy for ethanol, it seems, is still a
highly controversial move. Grover is not over yet.”
