Now that our president-elect has created a new entitlement program before he has even taken office, do you think the C-level executives at Carrier should be drug tested before being allowed to receive the money? I know that keeping jobs in the U.S. is important, but this is a massive new redistribution of wealth. I think if we are going to allow the new president to push us closer towards socialism we should make sure that the beneficiaries of the redistribution of taxpayer money are worthy of receiving it, don't you?

This election was, welfare for the rich vs welfare for the poor?


Still no one understands the middle class....

The middle class doesn't understand themselves. Instead of getting their kids the best education possible the way the truly wealthy do, they've been convinced that their children should study trades so they have "something they can use". Tech moves quickly. Then they have no real education and a trade they can't use.

Did I miss that today is national trolling day?

It's actually a pretty fair point by JORR.

Fuck these libtard admins for polluting this here fine message board with message board posts that I disagree with. Every post should be one that comforts my feelings!

Sure it is bit it seems like board traffic hits get low and then a innocuous thread gets started by an admin just to have a new multi page argument. Yesterday was bigotry.

I can tell you honestly, I've never thought about page views for this site. I'd like more people to post because more voices make for more interesting conversations, but I've never started a thread thinking that I was going to achieve that.

Sure. If it makes you happy and gets you into an Internet beef I say go for it.

No. I'm here for the gang bang.

This, along with drug testing anybody and everybody who receives a government check (lawmakers, public employees, vendors, etc) is what goes through my mind every time I read someone on Facebook yapping about how welfare recipients should be drug tested.

I don't really think government employees are analogous to welfare recipients.

Isn't that why you're here? For the Internet beefs?

But they are receiving taxpayer dollars. If the standard is that we don't want taxpayer money going to people on drugs, testing them all makes sense and it's non-discriminatory.

They are being compensated for work that was done. They are providing value to the government and being reimbursed for it. There is no value added to the government by welfare recipients.

Sure there is. It puts a drag on desperate people coming to Wilmette and Naperville and taking what the wealthy people have.

I bet there would be at least the same amount of positive tests for executives that there would be for poor people. Just different drugs.
