Like a lot of folks in these United States, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit.
In order to get that paycheck I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with.
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 sit on their ass.
Could you imagine how much money your state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? |

public assistance is a joke, people who don't deserve it get it and people who really need it don't get it.
I worked my whole life and was told because my truck was worth over 4000 dollars i did not quilify for General Public Assistance.
18 years of paying into the system and i get screwed, no unemployment because i self employed past 2 years. but i pay my taxes on everything.
I ended up in hospital for 3 weeks with Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) its a disease spread by tick bites. With thousands of dollars in bills.
THE SYSTEM SUCKS. |

It sounds like a great idea, but there is a little problem: if you make lazy people accountable, they won't vote for you... |
