Anti-tax champions are crowing after the recent budget battle on Capitol Hill. “Republicans have the high ground," says Norquist, author of a "no new taxes" pledge reviled by many in Washington. In the upcoming round of bipartisan talks, he said, Democrats will have little leverage to seek new revenues. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite, file)
