Article in Waco, Texas newspaper

I got this in an e-mail and thought I should share it with everyone. It's not such a bad plan after all;

    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
    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.
