Rant: Urine my heart

| Phil | 15/09/10 at 08:23:36 am | Categories: Rants n Raves | 198 words

This was written by an Air New Zealand flight attendant in Auckland.

I'm damn sure I'm not alone in agreeing with him...

I work, they pay me... I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to earn that pay cheque 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 cheque because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand that 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 arse, drinking beer and smoking dope.

Could you imagine how much money NZ would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a welfare cheque?

Please pass this along if you agree or simply delete if you don't. Hope you will pass it along though, because something has to change in this country!

...and soon
