It's only fair. We SHOULD impose restrictions on welfare recipients. [View all]

Corporate Welfare recipients, that is. It's only fair.

1. Limited to one new private jet every 10 years.
2. When flying on an airline, you may only fly coach.
3. No more "golden parachutes".
4. No more 5 Star hotels. You may only stay at 3 star rated or less.
5. Meals may only be obtained at "Mc Donalds" or similar fast food establishments.
6. Clothes may only be purchased at "Men's Warehouse" or "Kohls".
7. Rental cars may only be obtained from "Rent-a-Wreck".
8. You WILL be tested for drugs and alcohol.
9. You will no longer be allowed to buy politicians at all.

Feel free to add to this.
