They ought to force them into forced labor work camps where they work for their room and board instead of steal and take drugs.
In the case of hard drugs like meth and coke, not mary j.

Yes, on here, you come across, and no doubt in person you would be worse.
To think you are HIGHER and BETTER than people.
I didn't say welfare recipients are better than anyone.
In fact I tried to explain to you, how they are the same as you.
Your life is slavery, you are a slave to the illegal federal reserve.
Let's start here. You are implying that you are better than all of us by making these statements. You have our government all figured out, you know that our economy is based off of an illegal scheme, and we're all the same. Makes you sound a little self-righteous, doesn't it? Makes you sound like exactly the person you're calling us, if not moreso. We don't claim to know these peoples' lives, as you claim to know ours.
You choose to do some work, ok, but you don't choose to have part of your money stolen from you.
It's not stolen. In fact, if you pay your taxes and apply for the benefits, you actually see your federal withholdings come back. Not that you'd know this, as I'm sure you avoid this "illegal system."
You might need someone, one day, to prop you up, what are you going to say then?
You new everything?
Yes you would care, if you were unfairly judged, and harshly labeled, as a person who was considered bad to others.
Then you WOULD miss, indeed, say that you were unfairly judged.
I might possibly need help one day, and I'll be willing to do what it takes to get that help. Submitting to drug tests, sure. I'd have more problems to worry about than scoring my next hit if I was on welfare.
Being on welfare is acknowledging, the faults in the system.
It is acknowledging, that tax payers are victim's of crime.
Howso? I daresay you're trolling given this statement.
No one lady, and I mean no one, in this great republic, ever authorized income tax.
Why don't you go look it up, miss braino?
Actually, it's written in our constitution. Why not give it a read, sometime, instead of regurgitating "facts" you hear from ill-conceived conspiracy movies? (I'll give you a hint: 16th amendment)
You are just another example, of an under educated, go with the flow, plod along.
That makes JP Morgan rich.
You are the people, with all good intentions, that make the world, a worser place.
Again, with your accusatory stance and your "holier-than-thou" attitude that you try to claim we have.
I am done trying to help you understand where you went wrong, in your brainwashed thinking.
Either figure it out, or get out of my way.
Good riddance.

I do like the idea of community service for welfare though. You should have to do something to earn the money being paid to you. but then welfare would be a job and could be considered income and very much taxable.

Just how many lawmakers would pass a drug test?

In 1999, the State of Michigan implemented a plan to drug test applicants for public assistance. The ACLU, with the assistance of Drug Policy Alliance, challenged this policy in federal court in the case Marchwinski v. Michigan. For the case, the Alliance conducted a nationwide survey of state drug testing policies with respect to public benefits, revealing that the other 49 states used alternative, far less intrusive methods to detect drug abuse among welfare applicants and recipients. The Alliance study was introduced as evidence in the ACLU brief and was cited by the United States District Court in its decision to strike down Michigan's drug testing policy as unconstitutional.
