[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 459428, member: 7083"] So spending hundreds of millions of dollars of taxpayer money drug testing welfare recipients when it is showing right out the shoot that 98% are passing is the right thing to do. I think that's called spending a buck to save a penny. I live in the wrong damn country. What is wrong with a society that can criticize and demonize the poor while BofA, Exon, Boeing, GE and many, many more corporations raked in billions in profit, and paid no to little (as in 1.1% of their profit) in taxes, and many got tax refunds in the hundreds of millions. I can get the breakdown. I guess the poor are just an easy target. Step - children's income is not counted until they are 18 and out of high school. And when I was working and struggling to make ends meet while not qualifying for foodstamps, medicaid, or reduced lunches? I didn't have things like a cellphone and credit card debt when I was struggling to buy my kids' lunch and pay $200+ a month in insurance copays. I made $40,000 a year, plus child support. If I couldn't survive on that then I needed to rethink my finances and priorities. [/QUOTE]
