calgarychef1pretty good for a "rig pig"
THIS GUY MAKES A GOOD POINT
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 ... ?

Ohhh. but that wouldn't be nice.

It isn't their fault they make poor choices. (is it?)
The rich capitalist swine should be forced to support the poor. It is only fair.

blah blah blah.

CanuckPolitics is the art of getting financial support from the rich and votes from the poor on the pretext of protecting each from the other.

martinbnsThat'a an interesting idea. I would support it, but doubt any of our political parties would.
