[Humor] A Solution to the Welfare Problem that Sounds Fair Enough

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, 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
to receive the distribution of my hard earned tax dollars. 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 butt, 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? Pass this along if you agree or simply
delete if you don't. Hope you all will pass it along, though ...
Something has to change in this country -- and soon!
