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 drug screening (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 screening.
So, here is my Question: Shouldn't't one have to pass a drug screening 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 doing drugs, while I work.. . . . Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a drug screening in order to receive a public assistance check?
