Scott and Jeff interview Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR). We discuss the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which has been signed by many national and state-level politicians, including past presidents, many senators, sitting governors, and others. The signing is mostly partisan, with Republicans mostly signing, and Democrats rarely signing.

Grover Norquist discusses his views on taxes and government, and argues that there is never a good reason to increase income tax collections.

Grover Norquist describes how he believes raising taxes can lead to political trouble for Republican politicians.
