After a series of posts making fun of libertarians (here, here, here, here, and here), it’s time to aim some humor at the left. Even if it means a lame pun in the title.
This poster is funny, but it also makes a serious point about whether there should be behavioral restrictions on people who want to live off taxpayers (sort of akin to the debate about whether food stamp recipients should be allowed to buy junk food).
My view is that the answer to the welfare problem is decentralization. Let fifty states and thousands of communities take responsibility for redistribution policy.
This will mean diversity and innovation, which will help give us answers to how to help the genuinely needy with ripping off taxpayers and/or trapping poor people in lives of dependency.
Maybe drug testing is a good idea. Maybe it’s not. But we won’t find out with a one-size-fits-all policy from Washington.
This interview and this video have more information for those who want a more detailed look at anti-poverty issues.
Likewise if I have to show a photo id to a) check into a hotel b) receive physical therapy c) get a prescription filled d) enter most buildings to conduct business with a federal office ( Post offices are technically excluded as they are sep. entities) why should I not be required to show a photo id to vote (I would accept COSTCO and Sam’s CLub cards).

Using the same logic, I believe that legislators should have random UA’s since they 2 are not only paid by us but spend our money. I think to really push this forward any Federal or State office needs to be subject to UA’s and any one collecting welfare, or SSD.
they already tried this in Florida and it costed taxpayer 170 million dollars… 98% passed it
