This young Lady has her head on straight...

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.

This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011

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 legations. 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.

now if we could only come up with a solution to cut off the welfare for the oil companies and corn farmers we might actually do something for the country

How about this for the oil companies; if you make more profit than any other company in the USA you don't get any more tax breaks and subsidies.

It is not just the oil companies - We allow GE Billions in tax breaks and they move manufacturing to China, We give power companies Billions in "Smart Grid" Grants,and they hire russian software companies to write the custom software...Just a couple of examples.

I say cut off the tax breaks and govt subsidies if you aren't hiring Americans to work in America on American Tax Funded projects.

I've heard just about every point she makes, by almost every business owner I know. It's not rocket science, it's just a matter of saying ENOUGH already! Frank

Bingo. Instead too many focus on the pennies like the original thread starter here.

...how often I have to remind the deeply inculcated here that our current economic woes and, if one is careful with the analysis, virtually all major disruptions of American culture and prosperity were the work of the wealthy elites and had nothing to do with the poor. The poor are but pawn and the elites the chessmasters. And most of you who don't see this have been so thoroughly riddled with bias against the poor and middle class that it's something you simply cannot shake even during this incredible recession...caused by the wealthy...AGAIN.
