I guess by junkies I am including drunks and pot heads who cannot manage their lives, get assistance, and use that to fund their habit. Granted, I do understand not every drunk or pothead is on assistance or vice versa. If it is a saturday night, you recieve assistance, and know you might have a piss test any time between monday and friday, why take the chance? I don't know about you but my jobs have always given randoms. Everytime I toke up I know I am running a risk and putting my job on the line. I have kits for that that I paid for, not the tax payer. If I fuck up and test positive no one cries for me, you want to play then you must be willing to pay.
To sum it up: Why should the working man be held to a higher standard than a welfare recipient? Nobody protests when more and more companies require mandatory urine analysis's, but people make a stink that people who get free money paid for by you have to take a leak in a cup? That just doesn't jibe with me...
Also, don't get me wrong, I am all for decriminalization of ALL drugs. Its like abortion to me, its your body, you make the call. If you want to sit around doing heroin all day then thats fine as long as you do not infringe on me. Its not for some shriveled up congressmans decision to make.
For a guy like me what does it matter? Should I continue doing drugs, risking my job, and wasting my money on cleaner kits or just say fuck it and go on welfare?If I do the later I don't have to worry about piss tests, doing any work, or worry about taking care of my family. If I had no self respect I guess I'd go on welfare and take the easy life...
Where is the incentive for welfare recipients to work?
