So saying it is better for people to invest their money rather than being profligate with it is offensive now or something?

You are so dense.  There is an obvious, elementary difference between "save and invest your money instead of spending it on the whims of desire" and

"The class of people benefiting from the reduction of the estate tax are the wise ones who invest while everybody else just spends everything they have on booze and women"

The ignorance and disconnect speak for themselves in what he said.  Your ignorance just compounded that and now we have like... a layer cake of ignorance a la shua.

You are calling me dense only because you somehow completely missed the point Grassley was making.  He was not talking at all about one class of people vs another, he was talking about those people subject to the tax.  The idea that taxes make a difference in how people spend their money is a pretty basic one and I'm surprised you have not come across it before.

This is what you do every time.  You claim the person calling you out "missed the point".
People subject to the estate tax are literally a class of people and he uses "as opposed to" and then describes alleged behavior by another, much larger class of people "those who spend every darn penny"

Once again.   You are dense.  And the more you use the same rhetorical tricks like this, the more I just think you're an imposter.  I'm not sure how else I can put this.  I don't like you and I think you're dumb.

Not everyone thinks entirely in terms of class.

Like you are telling me you literally do not understand that if you spend all your money you have less money to be taxed when you die?
