JUST COMMON SENSE
I totally agree with the Sound Off "Subsidizing Abuse." I, too, like
most folks in this country, have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay
taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In
order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random drug 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 drug test. So here is my question:
Shouldn't one have to pass a drug test to get a welfare check, given
that I have to pass one in order to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get on their
feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone
sitting on their rear end doing drugs while I work. Just imagine how
much money each city/state in this country would save if people had
to pass a drug test to get a public assistance check.
