Urine Tests For The Poor!

So i got my pay slip today, when i opened it i had a look at the tax i've payed over the year and at first i was slightly annoyed that the government would gib me of a few dollars that i could have spent on a new monitor instead. Then i thought about why the government needs it more than me.

You see largest portion of tax money goes to welfare payments these are payments that might go to the people listed below:

widows of war veterans
Old people
people who cant find work
single mothers

List goes on, its basically the people that need abit of help getting on their feet. Unfortunatley we don't live in a perfect world and my tax money also goes to people that i think don't really deserve it.

It is well known within the community that a number of these welfare payments go to people that are just leeching off the government because they don't want to work, these people are affectionately known as "dole bludgers" These are the people that don't do anything for society, they are often found getting drunk in the street or getting high on what ever they can get their hands on. I'm very happy for my tax money to go to the people that really need it but if its going to someone thats gonna use it to damage themselves smoking pot or getting smashed then im not going to be so obliging.

What i would like to suggest is this, why don't we make all welfare people take a urine test before they receive their payments? maybe just one urine test every 1 or 2 months? this wouldn't be expensive for the government to pay for and aside from the minor inconvenienced of pissing into a cup once a month (because your too poor to get your own money) we could separate those that really need the money from those that want to just get high. This might even help people out of their habits, because if they don't sober up then they won't get any money and die!!!

Offcourse with every brilliant idea there are always downsides. One thing i can think of is a bunch of druggies robbing people for money instead. Another thing might be the number of homeless people in the streets might rise because they don't have the money to pay rent since they want their alcohol more. Its a difficult problem to solve, but for now ill have to be satisfied with the fact that i don't earn enough to pay tax anyway :P
