Norquist Says Bush Tax Plan Could Reshape Politics
Washington Post op-ed by Grover Norquist outlines a long term Republican tax agenda aimed at permanent tax cuts and broader revenue reductions. He predicts estate and capital gains tax cuts, tax free savings, and a flat rate income tax as Democrats face diminished leverage. He cites 2002 redistricting and potential eight year Bush tenure to justify long term gains.
