For a legislator, the congress woman should have produced a more intelligent and relevant bout of sarcasm.
I believe violence should be the proper response to attacks on our rights but she resorted to sarcasm.

I'd prefer violence.

How about we end all forms of government paid welfare. Corporate or otherwise. That way, there will be no need to politicize every scintilla of our existence?

I am so sick of the "game" of politics.

Did you read it by any chance? Because you would have gotten my point if you had. But since you had to ask.....this is a list of perks the nation's tax dollars have to pay for. If America's tax payers have to pay for these freebies, then why can't we make the people getting them pass a drug test to receive them? Isn't that what these same guys are demanding of welfare recipients? What's sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander and all that.

Just because one group is wrong doesn't mean it's O.K. to be wrong yourself.

Which corporations are receiving welfare?

I hope people know the difference between a tax discount and receiving something for nothing.

Starting with Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. Recipients can get exactly what they paid in and not a penny more. One in five seniors get Medicaid on top of Medicare and Social Security. What's more, Medicare recipients barely pay a third of the benefits they take out. I'm a taxpayer and why should I pay for these nonworking seniors that paid so little in?

The ethanol tax credit expired however the mandate still exists. When the tax credit existed the taxpayer footed the bill, now the consumer foots the bill and will continue to pay for it until the mandate is lifted. Either way the oil company isn't paying for it.

So, we should be able to require them to take a **** test according to the argument.
