>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 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. 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?
>
>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. 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.
>
>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.
>
>While you are on government subsistence, you cannot vote.  Think 
>about it. When you vote and are on government assistance, you are 
>engaged in a explicit  conflict of interest.  If you want to vote, 
>then get a job.
