THE JOB - URINE TEST
(I sure would like to know who originally thought of this one! They deserve a HUGE pat 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 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 ASS, 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?

If you agree or simply contact your state and federal officials at http://www.firstgov.com/Contact/Elected.shtml

Something has to change for the proud, respectable, working Americans....and soon!

This is a great idea, I totally agree with this. I wish that I had some say in the way that they run things. Im like you I have no problem helping someone when they are oing through a rough time but people are abusing this system. I think that before you can get any type of assistance you have to be a working, non smoker and if you get convicted of a crime while on assistance you should be kicked off bc thats showing that your not doing everything possible to conserve your money. I also think that food stamps should be set up like the WIC program, only store brand healty food should be allowed. It ticks me off to go in a store and see someone buy candy and sodas with their EBT card .

Let's throw them a "stone" and require they work at least 3 days a week to get that supplemental check.
