Grover! Renounce Your Citizenship! I’ll Give You A Dollar To Do It!
So, Grover Norquist thinks it is oh so American to renounce your citizenship. I’m serious.
Chuck Schumer and Bob Casey introduced legislation last week that would penalize Americans who renounce their citizenship to evade taxes.
Grover Norquist, the president of Americans for Tax Reform, had this to say:
“I think Schumer can probably find the legislation to do this. It existed in Germany in the 1930s and Rhodesia in the ’70s and in South Africa as well. He probably just plagiarized it and translated it from the original German.”
Wait, so it’s Nazi NOT to renounce your citizenship to avoid paying taxes?
Come on, Grover, set an example. Move your silly butt to the wilds of the Amazon forest where they have your kind of government.
Thanks to David for the heads up
Actually, Brazil is growing economically by leaps and bounds and has an actual, for real, government. Grover needs to move to Somalia, which has no government since they drowned theirs in a tub.
1Brazil is a democracy, too. They have government, taxes, and all sorts of regulations. Grover would hate it. Maybe he should try Somalia….they don’t seem to have much stinkin’ govmit.
2Amen, sister, amen.
My vote is for Somalia. After all, he will fit right in with the pirates. I’ve always pictured him with an eye patch, deranged grin, and oily aura. He already has the swagger.
3Can y’all help me out here? I’m forgetting just who it was who died and made Mr Grover king of our democracy.
4@RA: The Republicants did when they bought into his schtick lock, stock and barrel. And, took his money, of course.
5Grover Norquist is the unelected King of Congress who can make his subjects jump whenever he pleases. He will never give that up for a real country without government.
6And now to the finer point:
Grover has just plagiarized the great Molly Ivins’ referring to Pat Buchanan’s speech at the 1992 Republican Convention. It “probably sounded better in the original German”.
Of course he added a bit extra – a sure sign of a poor writer. Funny how Republicanites are always blaming others for their own poor behavior.
But if you’re gonna steal, might as well steal from the best, eh, Grover?
7One little problem BarbinDC… the Repulicants haven’t yet had the good grace to finish dying. They may be in their death throes (we can hope) but the corpse, though already stinking, is still flopping madly about.
8Oh to be young again and be a candidate for office. Grover, take that pledge and stick it.
9Here’s yet another member of the LMF Party (rhymes with crying brother trucker) who in a just world would be in jail for his involvement with both Iran-Contra and the Abramoff Indian Casino scams, who instead is revered as the Pied Piper of Teabaggery, and the primary architect of America’s demise.
If the GOTP is Wile E. Coyote, Norquist is the dude at Acme who keeps building them different appliances to run off a cliff strapped to.
Grover, it’s not America’s fault you got named Grover. Stop taking it out on us.
10The very idea he would dare sully the memory of Molly Ivins by using even a smidge of a quote she had made! The idiosy that comes out regarding Norquist or any of his pledge-signing toadies leaves me sick to my stomach and practically speechless! Yes, we should sign petitions to get his ugly behind booted to Somalia!
11Do the Teabaggers know Grover has a Muslim wife and has done work for Arabs? Funny how they can close their eyes when it is one of their own.
12Found on-line …
Norquist and his Palestinian wife have wasted no time. Grover’s wife, Samah Alrayyes Norquist, is the founder of Global Partners, LLC, a consulting company that develops strategies to improve understanding and build partnerships between the American people and the Muslim world. Previously, she worked extensively on Arab and Muslim outreach for the U.S. Agency for International development (USAID). She is an American of Palestinian descent.
13Grover should go to Iran. He’d love it.
14Re: RA’s comment.
The beast, in its death throes, can inflict incredible damage.
15Juanita Honey, you should offer him a ‘Tax Free’ dollar.
