In reply to the discussion: White House negotiators signal concessions on work requirements in debt talks [View all]Farmer-Rick
(11,640 posts)35. They should put work requirements on Billionaires
Most of them like to call buying stocks and sitting by the pool waiting for their inheritance to kick in as work. But let's face it they don't work. They play at working.
Every billionaire should be required to dig a ditch and work as a Wal-Mart clerk before receiving any tax deductions.
