Urine Tests For Employment

(I sure would like to know who wrote this one! They deserve a HUGE pat
on
the back!)

I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB... SO I AGREE 100%

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, 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!


Have a nice day!

Someone sent this to me today. Makes sense to me. Your thoughts?

When I was in the military, I had to pass one too. My wife has to pass one where she works, I agree there should be a test, but the ACLU and any other left wing communist organiaztion will cry invasion of civil rights fot these "poor" people. Probably 90+ plus percent of these "poor" people are poor because they choose to be that way. The only people you can blame this on is the white man and the white polititions because we allowed it to happen. Until we stand upfor what is right we will continue to be screwed.

You can thank our lawyers for that. I drive company vehicles and equipment. This was probably brought on by someone being under the influence and losing an arm or something like that. Then turning around and sueing their employer because they could. Yet another reason for tort reform.

Yes, they should have to pass a urine or "drug" test to get/receive welfare. Guess who'd have to also pay for those tests?

Yes, but the net gain for taxpayers would probably be immense!

Just because the parents are druggies, does that mean the kids should suffer even more? Because in the end, it's always the kids that do. The welfare is suppose to be for the children. The children can't help who their parents are.
Trust me, I'm not arguing whether they should or shouldn't have to take a drug test in order to receive welfare. After all, many have to in order to get a job, which in the end is for money, so why not them, especially if it is the taxpayers money that they're getting. I agree, I think they should have to.

But the real problem would start when that one watch group (gee, who could that be?) that always puts their nose where it isn't wanted and doesn't belong and starts claiming it is a violation of their civil rights and it is an invasion to their right to privacy.

It is a mess

I know your frustration.
I, too, am tired of double, triple, and quadruple standards
in America. It is always fine print, exclusion clauses,
or something to make it harder and harder for honest
people to live in America.

I agree that what ones does in his own home should be private and drug testing being a violation of ones privacy however, how many folks have you known through out life that just had to push the limits with their employer, coming to work drunk/high causing accidents injury?? these are the people you should blame! If we don't police our selves, someone else will!

Although this would be a noble cause:

Again, Amendment 4, U. S. Constitution:

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Drug testing (of any kind) by any Government entity (including schools) without a warrant is a warrantless search, plain and simple. It's unconstitutional. I was drug tested for 20 years, and am still subject to it. If you want to drug test someone, get a warrant. Without a warrant, it's still wrong.
