ATR president Grover Norquist was a guest on Newsmax TV’s Newsline show today.
Norquist said:
“The most important thing that Trump can do, that the Republican congress can do, is to get the Trump tax cuts made permanent ASAP.
Not a year from now, no delay.
They need to get Speaker Johnson re-elected immediately on Vote One.
Every day that that gets delayed – and last time around we had like 17 votes or something – you delay making the tax cuts permanent.
And when you do that, every businessman and woman in this country, every investor in this country goes, ‘Should I make a decision to hire a new person or to buy a new truck or a new computer for the firm? Or do I wait because I don’t know what’s going to happen to expensing. I don’t know what the corporate tax rate is going to be. I don’t know what my own personal tax rate is going to be.’
We have to give them certainty, immediately. And that means Speaker Johnson – as Trump has pointed out – now – to get things organized.
And then second, to take the Trump tax cuts – not later, but first – take the spending cuts and the tax cuts, put them in one package. Get them out the door as soon as possible. Give Americans certainty.”
