Like a lot of folks, I have a job. I work, they pay me. In turn, I pay my taxes and the government distributes those funds as it sees fit. I am required to pass a random urine drug test from time to time and I have no problem with that.
What I do have a problem with though, is, the distribution of my hard earned tax moneys to people that do not have to pass a urine drug test to receive them. Shouldn't they have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check? I had to pass one to earn it for them! I don't have a problem giving someone a hand when they are down just to help them get back on their feet. But, I do have a problem helping someone sit on their ass doing drugs while I work. Can you imagine how may tax dollars would be freed up for other uses if people were just required to pass a drug test to get a public assistance check? Think about it! A thought for the day alan |

There are people who have a vested interest in keeping other people dependent on the government. It gives them a base of voters.
They don't mind taking our money to make sure they can keep the dependency going. |

If the state wants a urine sample they can just go collect it from the stairwell.

Many agencies do require drug tests to maintain welfare benefits.
It's not national by any means, but some states and cities do require it. |
