Impose work requirements on welfare millionaires

In exchange for taxpayers' support, I believe the government should impose work requirements on Americans who get massive tax breaks for living off investment income instead of having a real job like real Americans.
I'm sick and tired of these lazy welfare millionaires driving around in Teslas and Lexuses while they send the federal budget deficit sky-high by depriving the nation of billions of dollars in tax revenue. We need to make sure they're not scamming us by being lazy! They should have to prove that they work hard, like real Americans, if we're going to continue supporting them with taxpayer money.
