Now there's an idea


Ok, so this is shamelessly stolen from someone's facebook status, but I quite like this plan:

Drugs Test (This was written by British Soldier- 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 that pay , I train for war and eventually deploy. I am required to pass a random urine test for drugs, 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 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 smoking dope. Could you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a benefit cheque?

Of course you risk making the benefits office stink of piss...

It's not a rubbish idea, but in practice you'll probably just set up a black market for clean piss. Your dealer will sell you a bag of weed and flask of piss.

Perhaps a blood test administered in the benefits office at the time of signing on is the way to go?

It reminds of a similar discussion I had around persuading people to vote. Basically, you get taxed an extra £500 every year. When you go to vote, your presence at the polling station is registered and you get a tax rebate for the entire amount.

I experienced one whilst redundant. Made the job centre look like a high powered networking event in a 5 star hotel.
