I also think it'd probably be a good idea to more closely monitor who gets Welfare benefits, food stamps (EBT) and the like.

My best friend's fiancee's sister has food stamps + is on welfare, yet she drives a 2010 Mustang and she and her husband both have iPhones and new laptops, and go out to eat at like, Red Lobster at least twice a week.

It would be pretty sweet if they actually monitored whether or not they were incurring necessary expenses in order to receive the benefits, like watching closely where the income goes.

I'm not against people having nice things, I just think that too many people abuse government benefits and **** things up for everyone doing things like this. I know plenty of people who aren't receiving any government aid who don't do the things they do. Ridiculous.

And yes - the taxing of all Americans is something that would be pretty damn helpful.
