I thought you might like this......

Now here's a thought……..


I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to earn that pay cheque, as I work in heavy industry , I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem (in passing) .

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 cheque 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 arse drinking piss & smoking dope all day .

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

Aaah I read that this morning.... and I agree wholeheartedly!... although I can't see ANY (labour) government actually cutting anyone off a benefit if they're caught using drugs... they'll introduce a benefit called the "underprivileged persons benefit special allowance; drug and alcohol addictions" which will be higher than the straight dole to allow these clearly hard done by people who have been failed by society a chance to fight their addiction and get back on their feet.
