Job Urine Test
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: January 23, 2009
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay 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 butt, 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.
