Who knows what Rostenkowski was doing. Or even if he said it. If Jim wishes to discuss this in any serious sense, he needs to offer us more than he has.

But the quote is not typical of Rostenkowski. So, if he said it, context would have been everything.

As for the quote itself, I don't think it would be objectionable in the context of a discussion of US tax policy or whatever. Everything would be context.

I suspect we are in different places on this one.
