She gets it

Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best. This was written by a 21-year-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.

PUT ME IN CHARGE . . .
Put me in charge of food stamps. 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. Then, we'll test recipients for drugs, alcohol and nicotine. If you want to 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 your "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.

I love this one...
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 government welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.

Isn't it weird that in AMERICA our flag and our culture offend so many people...but our benefits don't? They're "expected" because this is AMERICA, RIGHT?

    It’s going to be awkward when you bozos realize the republicans get more welfare votes than the democrats.

    Do welfare votes count more than dead people or illegal alien votes?

    Would you like to make a wager on that blatant lie?

    It's not an oversight that we didn't get a link.

    While I can't find where they track how welfare recipients vote. A lot more vote Republican than you think.

    So they want jobs?

    Problem solved.

    And they shouldn't vote as they just vote themselves more gifts from the public treasury.

    They used to make recipients in some Euro nations work, I don't know if they still do.

    Hard hitting analysis.

    Why don't you tell us why you diagree, why this young woman is wrong on the points she makes?

    Apparenty, you think getting a job is a bad choice for those that want to advance in our culture/society.
