I have a question, not only for Lake County, but for the entire state of Indiana, and all 50 states. Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as they see fit.
In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, which I have no problem with. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Should't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check, becuase 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 behinds. Could you image how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?
