A Modest Proposal

From a random email...
Like most folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes those funds as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test. I have no problem with this.

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: Since I have to pass a urine test to earn my money, shouldn't recipients have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check?

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 would be saved if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could call the program "URINE OR YOU'RE OUT"!
Makes sense to me...
