In a last-minute snag to get the Debt Ceiling Bill passed, Republicans are balking after discovering the work requirement for billionaires. Along with requirements for work to be eligible for food stamps, there is a provision that requires
people earning more than $500,000 of
income a year must prove that they actually worked for it in order to receive all
the tax loopholes and benefits they get. They must provide a paystub and show
that all taxes were withheld on that income.
Telephones immediately started ringing in Republican offices demanding that this be
stripped from the bill. “Why should we be expected to actually work? Isn’t it
enough that we’re filthy rich and pay no taxes?”
