To Pee or Not to Pee

      PEE OR NOT TO PEE.I have a job. I cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77clwork, they pay me. cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77clI pay my taxes & the government distributes my taxes cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77clas it sees fit. cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77cl
In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77cltest (with which I have no problem). cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77cl
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 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 cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77clwhile I work.
Can you imagine how much money cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77cleach 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"!

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!



P.S. Just a thought, all politicians cid:6B0AD85C8C1F442C879AED8754B32A0B@your9wuf0j77clshould have to pass a urine test too!
