This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX.
Put me in charge..........please !
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.
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 don't know who wrote it but it should be implemented yesterday.

It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."
All of these are good ideas. Too bad they won't happen.
Agreed, look at what's going on in Wisconsin right now. The people voted the GOP in to do a job, and when they did it look what happened. I can't remember for sure but I believe there are 9 recalls going on now.
What the he** is the matter with people these days???

I think what is going on in Wisconsin is just fine. As you say, the people voted the GOP in to do the job and they have done the job, notwithstanding cheap tricks by the Democratic legislature, notwithstanding the thuggery of Wisconsin public unions. Business has been taken care of. My guess is that Republicans will strengthen their positions in the next election cycle in Wisconsin, not loose ground.
I am disappointed that the court decisions about whether the procedure was or was not legal seemingly was voted strictly by political affiliation. That makes a mockery of justice, in my view.
Hey all you Texans???
