Why should people on welfare get a free ride from other people\'s hard earned money
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 it sees fit.
In order to get that paycheck, I was potentially required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem with doing so.
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 sit on their butt, use drugs, drink alcohol, and reproduce babies to no end.
Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check
I am currently compiling a list of local representatives to contact regarding these requirements. Email your own representative today to demand that taxpayer funds are managed responsibly.

The momentum behind this petition proves that taxpayers are fed up with funding dependency and chemical habits. Call your local representative today and demand they tie public assistance to mandatory drug testing.

About time. I work 60 hours a week and get taxed to death while my neighbor sits on his porch all day doing nothing. Enough is enough.

If I can pass a drug test for my job at the factory then anybody getting free money from the government should have to do the same. Simple as that!!
