The Republican Crackup
The libertarian and conservative factions of the old Reagan coalition are marching to different drummers

Grover Norquist, a prominent conservative activist from Americans for Tax Reform, called on the reconstitution of Reagan’s “leave us alone” coalition. The members of that group – gun lovers, home-schoolers, small-business owners, taxpayer advocates – didn’t necessarily like each other, he said, but they united in their desire to pursue their lives without excessive meddling from the government. “We don’t have to agree on secondary and tertiary issues,” he said. “Ours is a low-maintenance coalition that wants to be left alone in the zone that matters to them, and that’s what matters.” By contrast, the Democratic coalition is what he calls the “takings coalition – the unions, trial lawyers, the dependency movement, coercive utopians and radical environmentalists” who are promoting “a list of rules slightly longer and less tedious than Leviticus.” These groups can work together as long “as more money is coming into the center of the table.” His solution: Starve the beast through tax cuts and expand the coalition of Americans whose primary goal is to be left alone.

Sounds like plan. Oppose every tax. Demand reductions. Oppose every debt issue. We can’t even conceive about all the taxes we are paying.
And, that makes us slaves.
