It's only fair. We SHOULD impose restrictions on welfare recipients.

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.

lower middle tier places like Sizzler or Golden Corral.

Children must attend state colleges in-state.

Salary packages over $750,000 a year will be taxed at 100%. Eventually, executive pay packages at welfare corporations must be tied to the pay of the lowest paid workers, not to exceed 25 times the lowest paid position at the corporation. Either they're going to have to take a big pay cut or they're going to have to raise a lot of wages.

Executives at welfare corporations will have to punch a time card to prove they did work. The cards will not work at upscale bars, golf courses, or junkets, only at the office. (we need to do this for Congress, too)
