Scum, the man said within earshot of Norquist as he walked next to a woman. Norquist didnt respond, and the man, without breaking stride, added: We need more taxes!
Norquist, who had just finished speaking at an immigration event, heard that part and shouted back, Good, then pay them, you little hypocrite! The man, dressed in casual work clothes, was already about 20 feet away, and the moment passed.

Yet more horseshit from "Taxation is Theft at Gunpoint"-spouting Libertarians. Something about being part of a non-aggression, non-intrusion agenda, I think? Or "Legislating Compassion" is the same as "Redistribution".
Either way, benevolence towards the wealthy and letting them off the hook for billions upon billions hasn't yielded much in the way of workers receiving long-overdue productivity gains.
