I thought I would take a short break from adding someone to the Douche Bag list today and pass along the following email I received from a good friend. Disclaimer: I for one don't believe in random drug testing for all professions. (But that's a column for another day). I do however believe that the idea presented in the following email should be implemented.
"I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%. 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? 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, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? 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."
I think this is a great idea. It probably won't ever be implemented because it might "offend" someone or be considered discrimination against the fourth and fifth generation welfare families that have learned how to exploit the system and steal money from the pockets of the honest taxpayers, i.e. Middle Class Americans, of this country.
