Urine test for welfare checks

I have to pass a urine test for my job . . . so I agree 100 percent. 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; I have no problem complying. 

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? 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 butt, doing drugs, while I work. Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

Something has to change in this country -- and soon!
