Boehner's and Norquist (event 3)

http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2011/11/03/boehner-calls-anti-tax-crusader-norquist-some-random-person/?npt=NP1 this is CNN's report on GOP position on taxes. John Boehner, the House speaker, is against tax increases because they hurt the economy. Grover Norquist is the leader of the Americans for Tax Reform who are working to keep Congress from raising any taxes. They are doing this by getting senators and representatives to sign a pledge to not increase taxes, so far there are 238 house members and 41 senators signed on. This is nearly impossible to do when working to cut $1.2 trillion. To raise money some taxes have to be increased.
