Dear Editor,
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, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (with which I have no problem).
“Urine or You’re Out”
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...Shouldn’t a person have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand that 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 each state would save 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”!

Thats a very good point!! I never really thought about it that way. But Im glad that you did. I fully agree with you!, I think they should be tested. Why should I have to pay someone to sit on there couch and get high!!! Why should I have to buy there grocerys (foodstamps) so they can have money to buy their drugs?
