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.
