Urine Test...

URINE TEST
(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGEpat 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 urinetest with which I have no problem. What I DO have a problem with is thedistribution 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, becauseI have to pass one to earn it for them?


Please understand - I have no problem with helping people get back ontheir feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helpingsomeone sitting on their ASS, doing drugs, while I work. Can youimagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass aurine test to get a public assistance check?

Pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope youall will pass it along, though . . . something has to change in thiscountry -- and soon!

Do you have any idea how expensive it would be to urine test everyone, then urine test them a second time if they fail because they're entitled to a second test, and then maintain accurate records and send them back for followup urine tests?

yea... but as time goes by fewer ppl will be forced to either work, or kick the bad habbits. The ppl kicked off welfare alone would pay for it. Sure we would break even...but we would have less ppl on welfare, and out working...so Im sure a profit would come about.

No. you're not grasping the scope of how expensive this would be

1. The lawyers hired to defend it when people sued (and they would sue. Constantly)
2. The department created to administer it and their physical buildings.
3. Their staff and equipment. (think about how many staff would be needed to answer complaints/requests/questions)
4. The tests themselves (which aren't cheap)
5. "Startup Costs"


I'm sure I left things out. There would be no breaking even. There would be an assraping in taxes so people can feel better about 'not giving to druggies'. By the way, its ridiculously easy to pass a piss test no matter what you've been doing lately.

Better yet, require community service to get that welfare check.

Good point. Forget welfare altogether and force people to help themselves.

How bout a manditory enlistment in the military thrown in for good measure...say 2 years for every 18 year old?

in the depression many highways parkways , dams , bridges and other community projects like schools were built to feed and pay people. Our countrys Liberals thing theese fucking parasites should get it all for nothing. I FUCKING LOVE going past a section 8 housing developement and seeing fucking MERCEDES , BMWs , cadi trucks and shit and if you do work in their apartments they have leather couches and big screens. Its a FUCKING JOKE to the core.

Again BAMF, I was just posting an email brotha. Not necessarily my P.O.V. - but an awesome topic for discussion here So I don't wanna hafta bust out my flame suit!!

I do feel like welfare is a joke, esp. Section 8, unfortunately. And I do feel like there should be SOMETHING done to make the beneficiaries of these laxed programs actually WORK for what they receive.

I feel that actual citizenship should be required to recieve any kind of welfare. The only way to secure citizenship would be to serve in the military or some other govt office. W/O a govt job in your past, you don't deserve any kind of welfare. Just my .02
