She'll get my vote...

Just think of how things could change if something so simple was put into effect.

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.
 
i agree with a lot of it except the "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."
and that is because these are (atleast where im from) jobs that city workers have be it in the public works or roadways department.... i know this because i clean trash from the roadways in the summer when pothole season slows down or my roadpatcher is broken and i get a decent wage to do so.... the check stub idea is good tho... most scrap yards and auto wreckers will hire pretty much anyone to go sort scrap or take cars apart, part of the issue is (again this is up here, dunno if its the same everywhere) you get more money doing dink all on unemployment than you would make in a coffee shop or at most fast food places
 
IF true, give me up that SOME young people GET IT.

REMEMBER what the President said the other night in the State of the Union Speech: "NO BAILOUTS, NO HANDOUTS, NO COPOUTS" - I think the OP pretty much summed THAT up....
 
That would only be the beginning. The govt job thing is cute but impossible to manage.
 
Why stop there, what about unemployment and Social Security? Sounds good on paper but that plan leads to:

Venezuela

The poor would be controlled by the government and those who don't want to be controlled become criminals.

I thought you guys hated Dictators.:poke:

Huh? EVERYTHING in Venezuela is controled by the government and therefore is a prime example of your socialist utopia....I think you just rebuked...yourself....
 
Venezuela does have some private industry. They are almost 180 degrees from the US.

Just because I believe Obama is better than any of his current competition doesn't make me a Socialist.
