<b>Put me in charge </b>. . .<br><br>
Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash
for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's,<u> <b>just money for 50-pound bags of rice and
beans, blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can haul
away.</u></b> If you want steak and frozen pizza, then get a
job.<br><br>
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women
Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then, we'll test
recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and
piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get
tats and piercings, then get a job.<b> Does anyone realize how
expensive those tats are? Where does that money come from if, in
fact, they do not have money to buy food and pay for
housing?</b><br><br>
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your
"home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions
will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360, then get a job
and your own place. <b>Those who protect us each and every day putting
their lives on the line are subjected to these restrictions, while you
who do nothing, have no restrictions placed on you while you sit
back and fritter your life away on others hard earned money.</b><br><br>
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or
you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the
roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we
find for you. <b>We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and
your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common
good..”</b><br>
<br>
Before you write that I've violated someone's rights, <b>realize that all
of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.</b>
<b>Before you say that this would be "demeaning" and ruin their
"self esteem,"consider that it wasn't that long ago that taking
someone else's money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and
lowered self esteem.</b><br>
<b><br>
If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least
attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system
rewards them for continuing to make bad choices</b>.<br><br>
While you are on government subsistence, you cannot vote. Think
about it. <u>When you vote and are on government assistance, you are
engaged in a explicit conflict of interest.</u> If you want
to vote, then get a job.<br>
