This was written by a construction worker in Fort MacMurray...he sure
makes a lot of sense to me!
Read on...
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 work on a rig site for a Fort Mac
construction project, 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 - 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 the provinces would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance 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!
Pretty silly way for us to live as hard-working slaves.
I've read this before too!

ReplyDeleteI've read it and it is so true. There are a large majority of people collecting EI, Welfare, WCIB, etc, and do not use the money as it is intended. Although, we have limited control as to who received the funds, and how they spend it. I wish that the systems in place were better, and were protected against fraud or mis-use. Welcome to Canada, where everyone gets helped regardless as to whether or not they truly need the financial assistance. What also amazes me is that many jobs require an inital drug test, but no further tests after the employment has commenced. That doesn't seem logical at all.
