What about company’s that demand:
1. Drug test
2. Criminal background check
3. Credit report

Just to get hired and receive “payment”? What is the difference? If you want to be paid (by we, the taxpayer’s), you have to play by the rules. If these druggies have children, they should be placed in loving homes where they have a chance of a normal life. The drug abusers themselves should be given the chance of treatment. Treatment, not jail. The system that is currently in place is not helping these people, but perpetuating the problem - the Federal Government has become the ultimate enabler.

The Constitution does not protect you from a private corporation but something far more evil, the government. The Constitution restricts what the government can do. And apparently alot of Freepers are not to happy about those protections. Personally I like all 10 of the Bill of Rights, but many Freepers only care about #2.

The question is, when you go on welfare, do you give up your constitutional rights including:

the right of free speech, the right to pursue your own religion, the right to own a firearm, the right to be free from unreasonable searches.

If you are saying the government has the right to search you, you are allowing them to take all the rights guaranteed by the Constitution.

I would rather they stop welfare completely rather than allow the government to violate the Constitution, but that is just me.
