- Norquist and the Tea Prty have adopted a strategy called "Starve the Beast". The goal is simple. Cut revenue to the US governemnt to the breaking ppoint so that funding for social programs becomes no longer possible. There chosen way to do this is to cut the revenue from the wealthiest of Americans and largest corporations with supportive financing being expected in return. This is an abberration of conservative beliefs and has put the GOP in jeopardy while at the same time putting this Nation on the brink of collapse.

- Yes, the grover nitwitt 'starve the beast' conservitard ideology has been going on for decades, as the top marginal rate has plummeted from 91% to a mere 35% (even though most of the wealthiest Americans like romney pay less than the 15% capital gains rate), and corporations pay little or no taxes despite a 35% corporate rate that none of them pay! We're totally screwed as long as conservitards keep pushing low taxes like 'lyin' ryan's' austerity budget that will only give us another depression!
