Over the weekend, I was flipping through the Des Moines Register while taste-testing two fine American craft beers when I saw an article that piqued my interest. It was about proposed alterations to the federal estate tax. GOP Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley argued that the tax, as it stands now, unfairly benefits those who have spent every single penny they have ever earned on booze, women and movies.

It kills me to hear these Congress critters who have every perk paid for by taxes weighing in on who is worthy of things like healthcare or education or food on their tables or roofs over their heads.
