Drug Tests & Employment

Tweet

I received one of the best forwards on my cell phone today. I just had to share it. I'm sure I won't need to say anything else after it. And I'm sure probably about 98.9 percent of you will totally feel the same, I know I do. I am a single mother who has always made sure I worked and only took the help I truly needed. "Like most folks in this country, 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 in my case, 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. So, here is my Question: 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 rump doing drugs, while I work. . . Can you imagine how much money each 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'".
