(This was written by a rig worker in the North Sea – what he says makes a lot of sense!)
I work; they pay me.
I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.
In order to earn my pay cheque, I work on a rig for a drilling contractor. I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs and alcohol, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who do not have to pass a urine test. Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a benefits cheque – because I have to pass one to earn it for them?
Please understand that 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 / or smoking dope or maintaining the lifestyle of Class A drugs user.
Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefits payment???
Please pass along if you agree or simply delete if you don’t. Hope you pass it along though because somethi9ng has to change in the UK – and soon!
