As to your feeble-minded econ lesson: What you say is true for the Short-Run impact, but not necessarily for the long-run benefit of the Macro-Economy.

Quote:Under Moore’s bill, those filing more than $150,000 in itemized tax deductions would have to submit proof of a clean drug test within three months of the tax-filing date.

Just to clarify, it's not all tax deductions. Just those over $150,000. How many people that would effect, no idea.

Personally, if the idea is to those really taking advantage of the system in the upper income levels, I'd say it would need to be higher. $150,000 could still come close to middle class territory (although, apparently, everyone in the middle class now gets a yacht and a horse and a second home).
