Americans for Tax Reform, Norquist says, is a coalition of taxpayer groups, individuals and businesses opposed to higher taxes at the federal, state and local levels. The organization promotes simpler, lower taxes and coordinates the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, which asks all candidates for federal and state office to commit themselves in writing to oppose all tax increases.
Norquist also discusses his new book, Leave Us Alone: Getting the Government's Hands Off Our Money, Our Guns, Our Lives, which details his vision for political conservatives.
