" As the recent scandal shows, the IRS is big, bad, and out of control. Grover Norquist analyzes the problems within the agency and presents solutions to rein them in. Norquist has a plan for cutting taxes for working Americans and for the major corporations that are fleeing for foreign shores. As president of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist is the go-to expert on taxation. Now, Norquist makes the case for a major tax reform, including a possible flat tax. On the current path, America will coast through inertia to ever-growing government and taxation, as entitlements consume more of our national economy. Norquist presents an alternative future where government spending is reformed, and taxes and the IRS radically curtailed. END THE IRS BEFORE IT ENDS US lays out what taxation in America should look like. Norquist offers a solution where America thrives, and Americans keep their hard-earned cash"--

THE CREATION OF 4 MILLION NEW JOBS IN 1983 IS UNADULTERATED GOOD NEWS FOR THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION AND THE SUPPLY-SIDE ASSERTION THAT LOW TAXES AND LOW INFLATION CAN COMBINE TO CREATE TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY. IT IS ALSO WELCOME NEWS FOR THE 4 MILLION AMERICANS WHO WENT TO WORK LAST YEAR AND THE MILLIONS OF AMERICANS WHO WILL JOIN THEM AT WORK IN 1984 AND BEYOND-IF THE LOW-TAX STRATEGY THAT GRIGGERED THE RECOVERY IS CONTINUED.

THE TAX CUT OF 1981 WORKED JUST AS ITS PROPONENTS SAID IT WOULD. IT INCREASED INCENTIVES FOR INDIVIDUALS TO WORK, SAVE, AND INVEST, AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE RESPONDED QUICKLY AND DECISIVELY. AND THE ECONOMIC GROWTH THE TAX CUT CREATED HAS GIVEN US THE MEANS TO FURTHER REDUCE THE ALREADY FALLING DEFICIT. IT IS IRONIC THAT JUST AS THE LOW TAX POLICY OF THE REAGAN ADMINISTRATION IS PROVING ITSELF SUCCESSFUL ON ALL FRONTS, LEADING POLITICIANS OF BOTH PARTIES HAVE FAILED TO UNDERSTAND HOW AND WHY THE ECONOMY IS GROWING AT 7.6 PERCENT, A RATE USUALLY RESERVED FOR INFLATION FIGURES. WORSE, THESE POLITICIANS ARE CALLING FOR A RETURN TO THE VERY POLICIES OF HIGH TAXATION AND HIGH FEDERAL SPENDING THAT FAILED SO MISERABLY IN THE 1970S.

THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS EXCERPTS FROM A DEBATE BETWEEN FRED BARNES AND GROVER NORQUIST OVER THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LIBERTARIANS AND NEOCONSERVATIVES, FOCUSING ON THE QUESTION OF BIG GOVERNMENT, WHETHER IT IS DESIRABLE, AND WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT.

A provocative critique of the Obama administration's economic policies and an examination of America's difficult economic future During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised "a net spending cut" to make government smaller in order to reduce the deficit. But this huge increase in government spending and debt, and the resulting prospect of higher taxes, will make America a poorer country. Are Americans happier because the government has determined where this money should be spent? According to John Lott and Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, the answer is no, and

The only way to reduce the U.S. deficit is to spur economic growth, argues Grover Norquist, and the only way to do that is to cut taxes. Andrea Campbell demurs, contending that lowering taxes will only pad the pockets of the rich. Adapted from the source document.
