Thats Not Mine..It’s Urine.

You may or may not know that I don’t like to read alot of joke and funny emails. I don’t mind getting a joke or two here and there but most of the time it’s just too much to read along with all the other stuff I read on a regular basis. One thing I do enjoy reading is news articles and information, and every now and then something shows up that really makes you think.

Julie sent me an email that was a copy of a letter that someone wrote to their local newspaper about drug testing. Basically the guy wanted to know why he has to pass a drug test just so he can work and pay taxes while people who receive public assistance and basically dont work for their money don’t have to pass a drug test?

Now that got me to thinking. Let me see if I understand this.

 I have to work 40 hours a week to pay my bills, pay my health insurance, buy food and gas so I can get to work, and with what little I have left over I can party as I see fit. But in order for me to live this way I have to pass a drug test. But people who receive public assistance can do all that plus they don’t even have to get out of bed in the morning and go to work, and they DON’T have to pass a drug test? 

Now I understand that from time to time people need a helping hand and the government is willing to help out. I have been on welfare several times in my life and to be totally honest I stayed on way too long because it was easier to stay in bed than it was to get up and go to work everyday. But if I would have had to pass a drug test in order to get my check every month I would have starved to death because when you’re a lazy bastard what else do you have to do but get high? I did more drugs on welfare than I ever could working a real job. You never had to worry about getting laid off of welfare, after all the government never runs out of money right? All of you stupid people were going to work everyday to pay for my drugs; and the best part of all was, you had to pass a drug test to make sure you weren’t getting high while you were working for my dope. Genius! While you were brewing a hot cup of coffee at 5:30 in the morning so you could wake up and go bust your ass for some boss that you can’t stand the sight of let alone work for, I was sleeping off a hangover. And when you came home from work to your screaming kids, and your nagging wife or husband, I was just lighting up my first joint while I watched TV and ate breakfast at 5 O’clock in the afternoon. Lastly when you looked at the TV guide a saw that there was one of your favorite ovies coming on but you couldn’t watch it because you had to get some sleep, me and my friends who were also on welfare were getting bombed and watching that movie for you. Afterall, we had the day off.

Seriously people, something has to be done about this. If I have to bust my ass and pass a test, then those lazy bastards should have to pass one too. Or maybe I’ve got this all wrong. We should raise the minimum wage to around $25 an hour and then those of us who have been working hard should quit our jobs and let those people who have been bitching about low paying jobs aren’t worth getting off welfare can start taking care of us. I also say we should make people who get social security take drug tests as well. I’m pretty sure there are quite a few dope fiend senior citizens out their driving their little motor scooters around Wal-Mart high as a kite on drugs that we pay for.

I say enough is enough. We want to have the day off too!!
