Just got this email from a friend and it's PERFECT!
Subject: Taxes & Urine Test
Something sent to me.....interesting point of view though
Like a lot of people, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit. In order to get that paycheck. I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with. 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 sit on their butt. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check.

Amen Sister, I got one even better, what if they had to go to the unemployment office to pick up the check. That way if Sundowner or whoever needed a few extra employees that day, they could go on over and help them out. I know the wacky leftwingers will say what would you do with all the children, that creates another job someone watch the yardapes while Mom-Dad do a little work. Maybe with all this extra workforce then we could start working on the Illegal Imigration problem. Notice I did not call them migrant workers.
You tricked me right into that response didn't you Huntseat.

They do not drug test in my workplace, but I wish they did. However, if you are injurred on the job and have to go to the ER, you have to be tested before you can return to work.
I work in a BUSY family restaurant which is famous for it's chicken-n-dumplins. A few years ago, a dishroom worker (who was obviously high) swung a large bag of trash around in order to carry it like Santa's bag. Well, the bag contained some broken glass which sliced the leg of a server who was nearby. The server had to go to the ER and received 18-20 stitches and she had to be drug tested in order for Workman's Comp to cover her treatment. The dishroom guy, however, was not tested or suspended or even reprimanded.
Now, I am not a sue-happy person at all but if I get injurred on the job by the carelessness of someone who is under the influence........I will own that place.
