My Take
Grover Norquist is someone I find impossible to ignore, regardless of where one lands politically. A Harvard-educated activist from Sharon, Pennsylvania, he built Americans for Tax Reform and the Taxpayer Protection Pledge into instruments that reshaped how American politicians approach taxation. Love him or loathe him, the sheer single-mindedness is remarkable: an entire career devoted to one uncompromising principle. I tend to respect conviction even when I question its direction, and Norquist has conviction to spare. To me he is a study in how one person, armed with a simple idea and relentless discipline, can leave a lasting mark on national policy.
