PUT ME IN CHARGE

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future


she's worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big

government state that she's being forced to live in! These solutions are

just common sense in her opinion.

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. . 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.
