Rep. Chris Van Hollen explains that with 98% of Republican Members of Congress signing Grover Norquist's pledge not to raise taxes, it presents Congress from raising taxes on the rich to reduce the deficit and forces massive cuts to program for the middle class and poor families. 

In other words, in order to protect the rich from paying a little more (which the can afford), Congress must hurt the middle class and the poor.

That is just wrong.
