Most Insulting Quote Ever

This Republican tax bill repeals the Estate Tax, making sure that billionaires can pass down every penny to their kids who haven't earned a dime. Or, as Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley puts it...

"I think not having the estate tax recognizes the people that are investing, as opposed to those that are just spending every darn penny they have, whether it’s on booze or women or movies."
- Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)

As opposed to food, shelter, clothing, and medical insurance. Seriously, I think we're just a drink or two away from one of these guys coming right out and saying "Fuck the poor." And yet, poor people still vote for them. Amazing.
