Let me tell you something. An analysis of the "moral" characteristics of the poor and destitute would reveal that poor folks are no different from the rest of the population along those demographics. An analysis of "antisocial behavior" among poor people vs people who are not poor would probably not yield statistically different results. I take that back. I would not be surprised, if good research were possible, if an analysis of antisocial behavior did not reveal that antisocial behaviors are somewhat but equally higher at both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum than in the vast middle of the spectrum. It is easier to hold those at the lower end of the financial spectrum accountable at a lower thresh-hold of antisocial behavior than it is to hold those at the higher end accountable at a lower thresh-hold.

I have no objection to drug-testing welfare recipients as a condition of receiving benefit from the public coffers provided all who receive benefit from the pubic coffers (which includes each and every one of us,) must also meet the same test.
