Repugnant Drug Testing

-
Roanoke Times, 1-25-1212, Pg 16: Editorial: One paycheck away from drug use.
“There’s something repugnant in suspecting our neighbors of drug use simply because they’re out of work”.
-
What is really repugnant is that many WORKING PEOPLE who are paying the taxes to support those who are not working are required to take drug tests; and if they refuse to take the test or if they fail the test they are terminated (fired). They can then go on public assistance where they don’t have to take drug tests – now that’s repugnant!
-
The liberal progressive do-gooders should view drug testing of those who are receiving public tax-money as a good thing – helping them to stay healthy -- so that they can develop their skills and knowledge and regain their employability.
Also liberal progressives should be helping these people to manage their tight budgets and manage their finances and not be using tax-money to buy drugs, alcohol, tobacco, lotto tickets and junk food.
They might even join my spouse in clipping coupons buying good food on-sale and buying things like whole chickens that result in a chicken dinner, then sliced chicken sandwiches and then wonderful chicken soup (good for your body and your soul).
-
Drug testing is not a nice thing; however, taxpayers should not be required to support the drug habits of others who are not paying taxes albeit that they may be part of the so-called 99% or perhaps even Obama’s Occupy Street Army.
