Urine test

Yeah, I'm one of those damn liberals, but I think most of us can agree with this.

THE JOB - URINE TEST

Like a lot of folks, 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 had to take a drug test before I was hired and I am required to pass a random urine test at any time. I have no problem with that. 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, unemployment check, disability check, etc. 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 drinking or 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'. While we are at it, add child support checks to the list.

One major problem, though. It makes too much sense.

Isn't addiction considered a disability? (I don't think it should be, personally.)

I don't know who's responsible for making that come true. :reading:

So, the urine test could get ya another check!!

Yeah, and Lord forbid if anything our government did make sense. But some dumba** from the ACLU would sue saying it's discrimination, that a person has a "right" do to drugs and keep his handout. I'm on state paid vacation, but if you want want me to p*** in a cup, line 'em up and I'll p*** in 'em all day long.

And right there is the BIGGEST reason something like that will never fly.

The problem is that most of the pols get money from drug-crazed Hollywood and the drug companies, and votes from the millions of free-loaders.
They'd never vote for anything that hurts their cushy lifetime " job ".
