Public Financing of Stadiums

Well then these people are just idiots. You do not drug test everyone. You do a methodical random sampling which will identify via formula/projections what the projected % of drug users are estimated with a decent level of accuracy out there. Like a Gallup poll or Nielsen ratings.

 

You then move forward based on that data. You may stop testing altogether or step it up depending on the results.

 

You may just check those suspected or identified via whistler blower hotlines etc etc......

Do you favor drug tests for CEOs of companies getting tax cuts and subsidies?

Cue the profiling complaints, leading to everyone getting tested.

Any smart private company would have drug testing program for employee improvement and life improvement plans.

 

But to have a fed or state requirement for a private company because they get tax breaks is a real stretch. So you find a CEO on a heroin addiction. You don't stop the tax breaks which will hurt all employees, you get the worker in rehab. That is what the welfare testing is meant to do also. Get them in rehab and if they continue to fail then they are cut off or go live in a drug rehab correction facility until fixed.

 

Using your premise if I would favor drug tests for all and tie it to tax subsides and breaks cut off to them. NO. Then you would have to drug test everyone who does not pay taxes in US which there are many. Also you could argue everyone gets a tax break in the form of the standard deduction. https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2015/10/06/new-estimates-of-how-many-households-pay-no-federal-income-tax/#c0f68e061cbc And also of those many who pay nothing many get welfare in the form of the "earned income credit" they do not pay any income tax and get back a few thousand(which is direct welfare) depending on family size.

 

Remember I am advocating a "sampling drug test program" to see if it is viable and cost effective. According to some studies it is not rampant so may not be needed. In FL they find thousands will not file the paperwork for welfare when they see it involves a drug test. The candidate applying also must pay for the drug test. The state does not pay for it.

 

PS: I am against tax breaks to private companies. That is not what a taxpaying system was intended for. We should only be responsible for the public good including infrastructure and not necessarily all of the infrastructure. But again it is not reasonable to expect all businesses in Brooklyn to pay a large tax to fund a new Brooklyn bridge when that is needed.
