To Pee Or Not To Pee

I have a job

I work, they pay me.

It’s a pretty good system that’s been going on for a long time.

I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit.

In order to get that paycheck, in my case, I am required to pass a random urine test (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.

So, here’s my question: Shouldn’t one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?

Please understand, I have no problem helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butt doing drugs, while I work.

Can you imagine how much money each state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?

I guess we could call the program “Urine or You’re Out!”

Here’s another thought: Shouldn’t all politicians have to pass a urine test, too? How about passing an intelligence test, a common sense test and most importantly, an Understanding the Constitution Test!

If you agree with this, then please pass it on. If not… well… you’re probably not reading this blog any more anyway.

Some things have to change in this country… AND SOON!

Ayn Rand’s Message to America

In 1959 Mike Wallace interviewed Ayn Rand on his program The Mike Wallace Interview. This was Rand’s first major interview on television and came two years after the release of her most prominent work, Atlas Shrugged.

While this video is over 50 years old, the format and content is timeless. Ayn Rand was brilliant in the articulation of her philosophy and her perspective and did an excellent job of engaging Mike Wallace without running him over.


Atlas Society

In this fascinating interview, a young Mike Wallace interviews Ayn Rand, author of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead. She states that the world is moving towards “disaster” and “destruction” and “complete collectivism” or “socialism.” This she ties to the implementation of the welfare state and its undermining of individual rights. The welfare state is leading us toward a society where “everyone is enslaved to everyone else” she argues. Wallace counters that this system came about democratically. Does Ayn Rand oppose that democratic process? Rand explains that the majority may not vote away inalienable rights: it may not vote away the property, life, or freedom of others. Individual rights are a limit on what the majority may do politically. How then should we move forward? Rand says, by “voluntary cooperation,” “voluntary action,” free from force.

This interview will be of interest to Tea Party activists and libertarians of all stripes, as well as those seeking a quick explanation of Ayn Rand’s political views.
