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.
You're dense because you completely missed Grassley's point and don't realize it.
