Afro American Congressman? Wants People Who Don't Receive Welfare To Be Drug Tested.

[FA_Q2]

The only whey is to cut off their welfare..

Just to be clear, are you saying a tax deduction is welfare?

Yes, what else would it be?

Bullshit.

Tax deductions are 2 things: congress using its power to pay off their buddies and the government social engineering the people by rewarding certain behaviors. Both are rather despicable in my mind.

Either way, tax deductions should, for the most part, be utterly eliminated but until that occurs there is no grounds or possible reason for drug testing people for receiving them.

This 'official' knows that as well. This is nothing more than a sad attempt (that unfortunately worked) to use a 5 second clip to grab free media attention.

And what about drug testing for corporations who receive corporate welfare. Or all the banks that basically received welfare by being bailed out by the government.

You cannot drug test a company...

Corporate welfare is a sham anyway. We pay the taxes that corporations are required to pay when we buy products. All corporate taxes are is a method of hiding the true costs of government. Corporations should pay no taxes and they should get nothing from the government at all.

Drug test liberals before letting them into office.

Cut off a little more and it wouldn't spread to another generation...........

 

[SuperDemocrat]

If you treat a tax deduction like a welfare check (unearned money) wouldn't you have to first view all money possessed by the people belonging to the government. The government then dolls out what it thinks is it's property to you in the form of either a welfare check or deductions....

I don't know if we would have any politicians left if we did that.

 

[SuperDemocrat]

While we are at it. Can we drug test all people entering this country. You have to come up clean before you can cross the border.

Lawmaker wants the rich to be drug tested before receiving high-dollar tax deductions

A Congresswoman who is “sick and tired” of drug testing welfare recipients has introduced a bill in Congress that would subject the rich to many of those same requirements.

Personally I am sick and tired of government dependent savages infringing on my liberty.

What a fucking dingbat. This is the kind of idiocy that Dims want to rule over us.

That's disgusting you drug test your welfare recipients. So invasive.

You're serious? Really?

It's money you earned, moron.

Yeah!!!

I live in the WESTERN world. We don't do that in the west. We accept that a percentage of people will always be out of work for whatever reason and just dole em out a bit of living money.

It actually empowers employers to have some unemployment anyway, because, job competition exists( as opposed to if everyone worked, like a communist slave nation!), job seekers are willing to work more for less pay.

This is not new. Britains first use of "the dole" was in a welsh mining village where the mine closed. Typical British ingenuity prevailed. The government decided to pay the townspeople unemployment benefits. I'm sure everyone was thrilled until all the drinking and fighting started but they sorted themselves out after a bit and turned to other ways to make money.

Oh and this was before marx wrote his rubbish. So don't socialism me.

"We don't do that" isn't logic. It's pure idiocy.

Great idea. As long as you support IQ tests for republicans before letting them into office.

K?

 

[there4eyeM]

Grandstanding for a constituency; normal Congressperson speak - sound and fury, etc.

 

[Snouter]

How about IQ tests for welfare recipients?

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

How about IQ tests for welfare recipients?

No need for that,we already know they're morons.

If you get a interest deduction it's only paid for by the govt.as a lost revenue..So the govt. has to make it up somehow..

 

[there4eyeM]

If I.Q. tests were used to separate the 'good' from the 'bad', it would not be the lowest that would be eliminated.

How about IQ tests for welfare recipients?

What purpose would it serve?
