The Urine Test

I did not write this, I got this in my e-mail. I am retired and I no longer have to take urine tests for employment, but I was subjected to them for most of my working life and if I was seeking part-time employment, I would probably still be told to contribute.

The following is the e-mail I received:

Like a lot of folks in this state 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. 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 ass.

Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Soap Box Ravings says he will pass this on to his elected Florida Representatives, with their proposed changes in real estate taxes they may want to reduce the costs of welfare, especially that paid to those using illegal substances.
