I realize it would go no where but lets face it, all this drug testing of the poor has NOTHING to do with saving the tax payer money, it's all about saying "Look over at that fucking poor person on welfare taking your money" as the fat cats put their hand in your back pocket and steel you blind. We need to play the game just like they do! Wealthy people didn't get wealthy by being stupid they know the PR game pays big dividends. That ain't no woo! It's propaganda 101 and it's peer reviewed political science. http://www.scriptonitedaily.com/2013/02/20/2-2-5-modern-day-propaganda-in-the-war-on-the-poor/
Fact is corporate welfare costs the average American family a staggering $6,000 a year in subsidies to big business while in 2012, the average American taxpayer making $50,000 per year paid just $36 toward the food stamps program.

We are losing a propaganda war that is being waged on us because we NEVER fight back and call out their bullshit. So I am dead serious that Democrats need to put a bill forward that would require any corporation that gets subsidies and grants to take a drug test. Yes it's a big fucking political stunt but it takes peoples eyes off the 10 cents a day they are paying for the poor to eat and puts them firmly back on the fat cats steeling us blind. We need to start calling our congress people even some Republican's who are against corporate welfare and get this bill going!
