(Whoever wrote this one deserves a HUGE pat on the back!)
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test to show I am clear of drugs, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. So here is my Question.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their rump --doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
I guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'..
Something has to change in this Country and soon!!!!

Completely agreed. However, on the same lines, I'd like to see medical professionals, lawyers, and other state-licensed people have to trade a cup o' pee for their license. Even college students receiving FAFSA money should have to donate a cup o' pee. Heck, why not just give urine tests to anybody who receives government subisidies

Excellent point regarding medical professionals, lawyers, etc. If there is nothing to hide, there is nothing to aruge about!

Let's test Wall Street too, that's where the most welfare is going
that problem is going to take more than a urine cup to fix!
