Urine Tests for Welfare Recipients

The following was forwarded to me by a nephew who is a fireman in Tennessee:

Like a lot of folks in this country, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit. In order to get that paycheck some employers require employees to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Don't you think they should have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check? After all, 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 someone sitting on his or her ass and buying dope and booze with my hard earned money. Can you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Sounds good to me. Often simple logic makes more sense than anything the 'intellectual elite' can come up with. Sometimes even bumper stickers trump the output of the elite:

• If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.
• Guns don't kill people, people kill people.
