Can you believe this?

The democrats wanting to get more "equality" are proposing an adult lunch card that you can apply for if you make $75m a year or less. Basically you present the card and your cost for lunch at most restaurants and fast food establishments will be discounted. Kind of like a negative tax. The establishment will have to then file, like a tax return to the governement to get reimbursed.

If an establishement does not take the card, they will be assessed during their quarterly filings to help pay for the program. The balance of the program will be paid by those making over $175,000 a year.

It seems that someone surfaced this in a town hall meeting to Obama that they work and have to buy lunch every day. But tghey only make $40m a year and have to pay the same for lunch that someone that makes a lot more pays. So as a percent of their salary it is a lot more. Obama said he would look in to it and now this proposal has surfaced.

Share the Wealth ... Equality for all. Ah yes the joy of Capitalism?????
