Grover Norquist Discusses Taxes and the "Super Committee"

Washington, DC
Sunday, November 13, 2011

Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform, joined Newsmakers to discuss the ongoing discussions taking place in the Joint Select Committee on Deficit Reduction, or the "super committee," and the pledge that many Republican have taken not to raise taxes.

Norquist discussed the corporate tax structure, including how any deal may impact individuals. He also said that he believes there will not be any tax increases if the committee comes to an agreement.

Norquist designed the anti-tax pledge that 238 House members and  41 Senators have signed. Meanwhile, some Democrats refer to Norquist the leader of the Republicans.

Newsmakers airs Sunday at 10:00 am ET and again at 6:00 pm ET on C‑SPAN.
