Drug Testing ALL Welfare Recipents

Yesterday Gov. Scott signed into law the requirement that welfare recipients undergo drug testing to receive government funds.  The usual suspects, including the ACLU, have come out in opposition and vow to challenge the law in court.  I don't usually offer political advice to Democrats but I will in this instance.

 

Instead of their knee jerk opposition to the law, Democrats should come out and say that the new law does not go far enough and that no one who receives state money, including those who receive corporate welfare should continue to receive taxpayer money who either refuses or fails to pass a drug test. 

 

If you believe that every person is equal before the law regardless of race, creed or station in life,  can you think of a one reason why we should treat the CEO and/or board of directors of a company who receives corporate welfare differently from a single unemployed mother?

 

Most people who own a small business do not receive any direct taxpayer money from the government.  We compete and either fail or succeed on our own merits.  For those who favor this new law, and setting aside the actual merits of whether it will accomplish its goal either morally or fiscally,  I would like to know on what basis it can be justified that corporate welfare recipients should be treated differently than private citizens.

RYAN NICHOLS - Hardened Criminal?? Seriously??

If you're not already aware. This is what's going on in DC while dangerous criminals are allowed back out on the streets.  It's horrifying that this is happening to our citizens and veterans for protesting the hijacking of our election process. This is still happening! They are STILL being tortured and treated like full on terrorists. 

You may not be aware of the typical things they're forced to go through...…
