Should the CEOs and top level executives of corporations that recieve bailouts, subsidies, etc. from government be forced to take mandatory drug tests?
Full question:
"Should high level executives of corporations benefiting from corporate welfare including bailouts from the government be forced to take drug tests?"
We do not do it for the lazy welfare bums who steal from us taxpayers as we all know most of them are healthy enough to work so why should be do this?
Willing to bet that you wont find very many highly successful CEO's who are on drugs but you will find a high percent of loser bums sucking off the rest of us having drugs in their system.
End welfare for everyone and make losers earn their keep.

Those CEOs do far more damage relative to their overall numbers than low income people on other sorts of welfare. Said "loser bums" don't outsource jobs to China, don't expect the government to do their bidding, don't control members of Congress, don't employ illegal aliens, etc. etc.
Obviously not all CEOs are bad ; there are good and bad in all groups. Many CEOs make positive contributions to society. But those CEOs of corporations who have recieved bailouts, have influenced legislation and foreign policy in their favor, have done considerable damage to the American and world economy, etc. are the biggest welfare parasites in America.

Obviously, your post is intended to divert attention away from the real issue of welfare recipients selling food stamp cards (my tax dollars) for street drugs. This has the effect of depriving innocent children of food and promoting the illegal drug industry.
If it makes you sleep better at night knowing the executives of all those banks that contributed so heavily to Democrats in 2008 have to also do a wiz quiz in addition to the customary bribery to keep those legislative loopholes and regulatory exemptions flowing, so be it. I would prefer they not get a dime, they not be to large to fail and unable to reward our lawmakers leaving office for their years of loyal service with cushy multi-million dollar lobbyist jobs and board seats.
When Clinton repealed Glass-Steigal many large financial institutions became "too large to fail", so when this Congress passed comprehensive financial reform, why wasn't Glass-Steigal or equivalent legislation a part of the reforms?

If Wall Street disappeared than the cocaine market in Manhattan, LI, and Westchester and Fairfield Counties would shrink drastically
BTW I'm not advocating the disappearance of Wall Street itself, just the crooks and parasites.

Most wouldn't pass.

I'd prefer that too. No bailouts and if they're too big to fail, break them up. But at the very least those CEOs should be treated like poor welfare cheats.
It's ironic that Obama's administration has been even more protective of Wall Street and catering to the interest of large banks than even Reagan's which was regarded as being very Wall Street-friendly including by the big banks themselves.

I like you Sunny-Days90, and yes i agree with you here. Not all but most people on welfare, are those who are lazy and can work, but believe in the Dem way, taking something for nothing. End welfare, and this problem should vanish, but with the Democratic Way, will never happen, we all know that, they need this bunch, for votes, remember.
