Urine or you're out

I think that all drugs should be legal, so I have no problem at all with people who choose to use drugs. Although I think that everyone should have tremendous personal freedom to do with themselves what they wish, they should also have to accept any consequences that result from their personal decisions. I certainly would not want anyone who can't get a job because they prefer to get high all day to be on the public dole. Quite often, in the gummint's attempt to help those in need, they create a moral hazard problem in which people have an incentive to make bad decisions.

With that in mind, I appreciate the sentiment expressed in the chain e-mail below that someone forwarded me:

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 A--, 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 guess we could title that program, 'Urine or You're Out'.
