PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of

Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho's,

just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans,

blocks of cheese and all the powdered milk you can

haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza,

then get a job! 

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. If you want to

reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, or smoke,

then get a job. 

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! 

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. 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.." 

Before you write that I've violated someone's rights,

realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want

our money, accept our rules. 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. 

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.

AND While you are on Gov't subsistence, you no

longer can VOTE! Yes, that is correct. For you to vote

would be a conflict of interest. You will voluntarily

remove yourself from voting while you are receiving

a Gov't welfare check.

If you want to vote, then get a job!
