WHOEVER wrote the following 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 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. 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 asses, 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?
Something has to change in this country — and soon!
