That's it exactly.

ok, we can dissagree with the luxuries....(but i think we are thinking of different things when we discuss....I am picturing a younger person (20 something), maybe not even a mom...who spends money ($40 / $50/month)

Fortunately, after years of operating his businesses under false names, Anderson was finally nabbed by the Justice Department at Washington's Dulles Airport, fresh off a flight from London. He later pleaded guilty to tax evasion charges and faces up to ten years in prison.


Fortunately he was caught.

Yes he was caught but that still does not negate the fact that his business, as well as others, unfairly cheat(ed) the system just as some people abuse the welfare system. As I said to another poster, we cannot turn a blind eye to a corporation's cheating and pretend that it doesn't affect us

And if they fail that drug test, their children will be fed...how? How does that not hurt their children?


And how do you propose we pay for all those extra drug tests and people to perform the tests? That would get seriously expensive. And what about alcoholics? They won't fail a test, but they could just as easily blow their money on alcohol.


It sounds good, but I don't think it's practical.

"that means you would not have to work for up to 1 year, i.e., 52 weeks, just collect and cash in your unemployment checks."
