An accountability test?

Blogging will be light for me [Skip] over the next few weeks as I am diving back into more of the technical matters of both ‘Groks and to help getting live streaming working for Meet The New Press.  In the mean time, think about this:

"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 ass. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????

Good point….why do we wish to subsidize illegal behavior….. 

[Doug Comment]: This may be an oldie, but it is absolutely on the money. Going into the local post office, I notice the bulletin board is riddled with info sheets from the various members of the local "non-profit" social services industrial complex– as if competing with one another for new "clients." Food. Shelter. Housing. Health care. Etc. It’s all there. Each thumb-tacked flyer has handy tear-sheets so you don’t even need a pen to write anything down.

Now, I’m all for giving a helping hand to those in need. However, you have to wonder at what point does all that charity subsidize bad behavior? And why not a test? The joke IS right– ask anyone with a CDL or a job with any big company. They have to submit a sample. And they ARE the ones whose money gets redistributed to fill the many money pipelines that feed the so-called "charities."
