Like most folks in this country, I have a job; I work and my employer pays me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (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 people asking for public assistance also have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check the same way I have to pass one to earn the money for them?
I certainly don’t have a problem with helping people get back on their feet and become productive citizens. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ass - doing drugs, while I work and pay my taxes.
Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
It’s not that these so-called “welfare queens” are a failure in life, but rather most of them started at the bottom and apparently love it there. I'm not talking here about punishment, but rather consequences; the act of taking responsibility for oneself.
What people deem to be "their fair share" isn't in my pockets!
