The Welfare state and how to make it better.

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

21 yr. Old from Waco TX with a plan.

THIS COULD ADD MEANING TO "DON'T MESS WITH TEXAS !"

This was written by a 21 yr old female from Waco , Texas .  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 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.

Now, if you have the guts - PASS IT ON...

Yes this is the way to go. It is the way it was done in the childrens home that I stayed in during my teen years (through no fault of my own) and these are the practices that we should adopt for the welfare system.

I do have one problem with this article and that is on the subject of medicare and the whole health system altogether but that's a whole other subject in its self.
