It seems that if I was to do drugs, beat women, have under age sex, kill someone then I could get all the free stuff that I want and never have to work.

All we ask is that people wanting help be required the same requirement (drug testing) that we endue to try and earn a living.

After 30 years of employment in my field and paying into Unemployment Insurance that entire 30+ years I find myself unemployed.
