And there's another fallacy, that the welfare recipient money isn't their money, its taxpayer money. How do you know that this person who has to claim welfare, wasn't just a taxpayer days, weeks, or months ago? Stop feeding into the idea of a dude or woman constantly on benefits, not contributing to society, and just sitting on their ass, doing drugs and drinking away your hard earned money. One, you contribute so little into the system (unless you're a considerably high earner, like millions), and second, statistically these people are very few. The majority of people on benefits in the UK and USA are actually working. In the USA, the majority of people on benefits are on it for a short period of time, as our system does not allow you stay on benefits for a considerable period, except Medicaid, disability (even that is questionable, as they find ways to decide that you're able to work), and Social Security (which is a pension actually, but falls under the welfare state, as its given to those regardless of how much they've put in).
Will they be testing poor pensioners to see if they're on benefits? No, they're going after young people trying to access food stamps for their kids while they work multiple jobs. And then Florida had the utter gall to make them pay for this insidious drug test. Disgusting indeed.
