On this episode of #InTheDugout, Mike Stenhouse is joined by Grover Norquist, founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform, to examine the urgent need for federal tax cuts and their role in reigniting economic growth. Norquist discusses the recent push by leading economists to prioritize tax reform is essential to drive investment and strengthen the economy.
The discussion zeroes in on America’s growing migration crisis, where states with high taxes and minimum wages are losing population at alarming rates. Norquist warns that these policies are driving out residents, businesses, and investors, leaving states floundering while low-tax states thrive. With jobs and families fleeing high-cost states in droves, the implications for national competitiveness and political dynamics are profound, making tax reform and fiscal responsibility more critical than ever.
Sten connects these national trends to Rhode Island, highlighting how decades of mismanagement in areas like education, infrastructure, and economic policy have made the state uncompetitive. Together, they deliver a wake-up call for policymakers, urging immediate action to reverse these destructive patterns and embrace bold reforms. This is a must-watch conversation for anyone concerned about the future of America’s economy and the consequences of inaction.
