No taxing is not illegal its the 16th amendment, that said redistributing it to ppl is. The tenth means if the constitution don't say the Feds cant do it....but unfortunately they do anyway

read it again.
and as far as the 16th amendment, it doesn't say that. That is an argument using the direct tax versus indirect tax. First of all its apples and oranges but still fruit, and second, income has been deemed legally taxable. Your stating an argument not a fact, you had me confused for a moment. you should clarify your position.
I think every person getting any kind of check from the government should be drug tested, even the president.
We have many people in high places doing drugs at our expense.
My wife works for the federal government and yes she should be tested.
Am I miss something? When were you able to swap out food stamps for drugs?
You buy the groceries with the food stamps. Sell the groceries at a cheaper price to your friends with a job. Then use the money to buy drugs. Either that or the bodega that sells the drugs charges you for food and gives you drugs. Seen it happen a million times.
Redistribution of wealth is
1) Not a power granted to the fed and should therefore be left to the states, so that each state's constituents can decide upon the issue for themselves. Instead of everyone being forced.
2) A defining feature of many if not all socialist governments

Well, in TX - crackheads would exchange foodstamps for money or straight up drugs. But the state changed to using a card, which muffled this.Quote:

2nd hand stores can work out deals with the state so they may accept the foodstamp card as a currency to buy clothes.
