GRASSLEY IMPLIES WORKING CLASS SPENDS TAX CUTS ON BOOZE OR WOMEN OR MOVIES
After pretending for a brief moment in 2016 that the Republican Party stood for working people, the Republican-controlled Congress reverted back to trickle-down form on Friday when they passed a tax reform bill that overwhelmingly favored the rich. Not to be outdone, though, Senator Chuck Grassley made clear his disdain for those not benefiting under the new tax law.
“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,” Grassley told the Register in a story posted yesterday.
It’s difficult to think of a more condescending, elitist worldview – that if you’re not ultra-wealthy, it’s clearly because you’re wasting all your money on alcohol, frivolous fun and prostitutes (I assume that’s what he meant when he said women). Certainly it couldn’t be because people are struggling to find decent-paying jobs, are straddled with debt from the college education they need to attain better jobs, or are paying outrageous sums for health insurance and medical bills. Nope, it must be because they’re all getting hand jobs from hookers in the back of a dark movie theater while downing a bottle of Jack Daniel’s.
That’s also an interesting assumption that perhaps only the men in a household make and spend money.

It's disgusting, but this is how these people really think. They have no idea what it is like for hard-working, struggling poor and middle-class families in this country. I wish the deplorables could see and hear what they really think of them. But then again, they would probably think that they were only referring to minorities. God, I hate these motherfuckers! 
Mac. Couldn't really afford it, but he needed it for school.
Yep, hookers and booze.
Thats me, alright
Ironic that Trump's fan base votes for the very people that define the swamp.
this pissing on his very supporters among poor whites should be chuckie's "mittens 47 % takers" moment.
But, they won't hear it, or if they do, think that it applies to them.
the concept that Republican working class people are smarter and spend their money wisely, whereas Democrat working class folks are painted as lazy, foolish and wasteful.
It is a pattern in their dogma.
Brother thinks!
Off the backs of the working poor, for many of the self made types, OR, inherited wealth, for which they did not work.
how disparagingly the congressMEN speak among themselves about most of their constituents, when they think no one's listening???
In addition to being grossly disgusting, this type of comment reveals their mentality and HOW LITTLE they understand of the lives and realities of MOST AMERICANS.
Talk about divorced from reality. And utterly unaware of the irony of criticizing struggling Americans while on the other hand granting massive subsidies that go to the wealthy and corporations. Stuff like crop subsidies for rich white puke farmers is A-OK but helping the next generation become educated is bad.
And now these fuckers are in charge of everything, courtesy in large part of those same people voting for them.
So many of these assholes have to kick the poor Just for bullshit luck
That we filter out 80+%, automagically, is kinda sad, but is kind of a circuit breaker. Kick 'em on FAKE, kick 'em on BAD SCIENCE, kick 'em on REALITY!!!
We need to beat the drum about some old realities - 
that kindness and decency are a savings over time. Kicking the crap out of people to "Keep em in line" is both ineffective and expensive, and corrodes the soul of the hand that enforces
Maybe - just maybe - a guaranteed basic income - would releive pressure on those who fall through the cracks, to an extent that it delivers services far more effectively by being less judgemental.
on every blue collar show, Fox News, RW radio NOW, before this tax legislation is signed?
At least take Grassley out.
don't forget mittens deducting something like $72,000 per year for his wife's dressage horse.
We need to stock up on pitchforks.
The one statistic I love.
25% of population think they are in the upper 1%:
its none of their damn high class- high ass business. IN FRANCE the Rich trembled at being high classs.. at one time.
And this is how he repays them.
How touching. 
Grassley’s constituents forgot an important lesson last year: their senators and congressional representatives are supposed to work for THEM, not their big donors.
It's our money and I will support Dems candidates if I see any unexpected returns.
Tell me about it. The national Democratic Party sometimes details Texas Democratic activists to phone bank other states and I was assigned to call and pester people in Iowa.
I found the experience interesting. While the Iowa Democrats I called were more than willing to turn out and vote for Hillary, more than a few of them told me that they wouldn't vote for the Democratic senatorial candidate, but would instead voted for Grassley, treating him as a sort of elder statesman, despite the fact he was a Republican and had a Republican voting record. I knew my limits, I knew I couldn't persuade them otherwise, so I thanked them for their time, wished them the best, and went on to call the next person on my list.
Well, Charles Grassley has shown how he repays the trust Iowa voters of both parties put in him.
I can't help but wonder if all those Grassley might have done better to vote for Judas Iscariot instead.
was passed by Democrats. Grassley pretended to act in good faith and work with Obama to achieve a bi-partisan healthcare bill. The process was strung out until the summer recess, and then the town hall meetings across the country began to erode the public support for the bill.
Lo and behold, the next thing you know Grassley was spouting the "death panels" propaganda.
Grassley's name fits him like a glove, because he's a snake in the grass, and lower than snake shit.
Hookers and blow.
