It is Time To Drug Test Corporate and Religious Welfare Recipients

so everyone who has a capital gain should be drug tested before they can file their income taxes.......would the same apply to the itemized deductions, because that is where you declare your charitable contributions and we all know that THOSE are welfare for the rich.........

Shouldn't we make sure that those benefits and privileges are not going to support their criminal drug habits?

if anyone is missing the point it is you. What is wrong with requiring anyone to take a drug test to prove they are not a criminal druggie be fore they recieve any government service, benefit or tax break?

The only point you are making is that you are keen on doubling down on dumb.

Our government takes our money. We, those who have it taken from them, have a right to ask that it is used wisely. If it is to be given to needy individuals, asking that they are not using it for drugs, candy, alcohol, is not mean or unfair, it's responsible.

Knee jerk fallacious arguments are addlepated sandbox distractions, not insightful points.

Who said corporations should have votes?

For the record your opposition to money in politics never seems to extend to unions. Why is that?

True. Why shouldn't we not all have to take a drug test to prove we are not criminal druggies to get a drivers license?

Think abut about what you clowns are arguing.

If ever there was a thread highlighting the sheer overreach and vastness of our federal government it is this.

Simple answer. Cut all subsidies. Cut all welfare at federal level (let states do it) and return the power back to the people.

But apparently you like to be ruled by people thousands of miles away and as long as they "say" they are helping the poor you sleep good at night and don't pay much attention to how they are fucking you over.

I think doing away with farm subsidies might hurt a very VERY tiny minority of family owned farms, but we are wasting millions giving subsidies to corporate farms that don't need the help, and that problem needs to be addressed.

and I believe you're wrong. family owned farms are in serious trouble, and not just a VERY tiny minority of them. they are all being pushed out and forced to work for the mass producers. I think you need to take a closer look at reality and come up with a more detailed solution that deals with corporate farms that won't hurt family farms at all.

Let's be fair. If we drug test those on public assistance why shouldn't we drug test anyone receiving any government services, benefits or employed by the government?

one would think, that all government employees and elected officials be drug tested. they are, after all, our employees. we hired them.

Its not...no one is claiming its welfare. They're saying that the rich have to prove they are not drug addicted criminals before they can recieve tax breaks that might go to support their criminal drug habits. What's wrong with that?

because, like drug testing those on welfare, it would violate the 4th and 5th Amendment......but nobody wants to hear that shit.

I want to hear it.

How come Constitution-loving cons seem to forget that when they violate the rights of the poor?

1) they aren't really 'constitution-loving'
2) they are just like libs....it's all about the 'feels' over their own ideological tendencies. they don't really care about the supreme law of the land if it gets in the way of their feels.

You may be right.

What do you bet that Zipoerhead doesn't know that the money he made off of selling his hovel is considered capital gains?

Ya gotta forgive the poor soul. He like many libtards gets his financial acumen from Media Matters. They tell libtards that capital gains are bad, so therefore capital gains are bad. Libtards think capital gains are only for the Paris Hilton types

Maybe you are too stupid to know that homesellers are allowed a once in a lifetime capital gains exemption vs those who pay capital gains every year instead of income tax....perhaps you can explain how this is fair.
I will understand if you can't.

Ummm I am very clear on the tax code. I never claimed our tax code is fair. But your aren't interested in real fairness in the tax code for ALL citizens. You are only interested in punishing those who make more than you which is 99.9% of the country. That is why you have to sponge off of Darcula and are forced to watch her fuck black guys
