Should anyone being granted any sort of fiscal relaxation be drug tested then?
I mean, having kids reduces your tax liability, should this be subject to a drug test?
Should every public sector employee be subjected to drug testing in order to get their paychecks?
Should farmers receiving farm aid be subject to tax credits?
How about the working poor, who qualify for the EITC? Seems like they should all have to pee into a cup too.
And all those veterans getting healthcare.
Property tax can be deducted from your taxable income. Seem like realtors should carry drug test kits just to be sure no money is given to junkies right away.
Mortgage interest deduction, too.
Point is - this measure is just posturing, designed to look like legislators are getting tough on a cohort of the population despised by some of their supporters.
