A 21 YEAR OLDS POINT OF VIEW

I found this blog post while searching for something to write and found this very interesting.

“The problems we face today are there because the people who work

for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living”

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, 2010

Put me in charge . . .

  TO

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.

 AND

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.

 AND

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

“commo

n 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 w e 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 realize that this is a extreme way of trying to tackle the issue that our country is currently facing in terms of spending too much on welfare programs.

I only post this up as a comedic license to see how some hardcore conservatives view our current situation, I  in no way believe this persons words or point of view in their entirety.  I like to use this as a way of lightening the situation our country is currently facing.

If you take offense to these views, well you are entitled to your opinion; and as I said earlier this is just a comedic view on the current situation.
