Out of The Box Thinking!!

My dad sent me another email that I found funny and worth sharing, so here it is (with just a minor amount of re-formatting).
JOB - URINE TEST
Like a lot of folks in the U.S.A., have a job. I work hard for my money (kinda), then they pay me for my hard work. I pay my taxes (lots of them) and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. But, in order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem at all. 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 someone have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check?
What the heck, I mean I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand, I have absolutely no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a big problem with helping someone who is just sitting on their BUTT, doing drugs, while I work… Can you imagine how much money the states would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
Guess we could title the program, “Urine or You're Out.”

 | This would help a great deal.
It's funny but sad. |
Stanford Matthews responded with:
 | Oh no, you cannot do that. It would be unfair. It would be racist. Those po', po' people cannot be exposed to such abuse and hardship.
Seriously though, with all the hoops one must jump through just to attend to the rigors of daily life of an ordinary citizen, those living off the fat of someone else's land should be held to some sort of equitable qualifying measure.
But then the sham would be exposed and we can't have that. |

 | Actually, it kind of fits right in with Eric Holder's comments at just today.
We'd like a frank conversation, but.... |
ttueoop responded with: Great question!
 | Perri, this is a great idea! Tell your father he should run for office, he'd have my vote.
I love the program's title idea too! |
