The quote below was added by the person who sent me this email. I have no idea of the original source but thought the ideas, while more than a little radical, were based upon sound conclusions.

Will it ever happen? Of course not.

I have no idea if it was actually published as the email says.

Interesting political ideas...
Now this young lady is think'in!!! Gives me hope for the future!!
Not sure if this is real, but sure sounds right on.


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.


"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 in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco , TX Nov 18, 2010

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.

I think 80% of that is doable and fair.
And sensible.

Of course if anyone actually proposed doing something like this, the left would immediately brand them as a racist.

Nothing from the Peanut Gallery as usual. They have the weight of the world on their shoulders. Each day worried about the lessor 'fortunate' among us, yet they have no position about people DOING something for something.

Whoa. Novel concept.

A guy recently asked one of his friends' little girl what she wanted to be when she grew up. She said she wanted to be President of the United States. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there. So he asked her, "If you were President, what would be the first thing you would do?" She replied, "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people..."

Her parents proudly beamed. "Wow...what a worthy goal," he told her. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that. Tell you what - you can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my driveway, and I'll pay you $50. Then I'll take you over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out, and you can give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house. How about doing something wonderful like that?"

She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked him straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

*I don't really know who gets the credit for this one... a forwarded e-mail, of course.

"Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?"

Because nobody wants a dirty homeless guy hanging around their house.
Because it's about three hours work and nobody's going to pay a homeless guy $16.66 per hour.
Because if you pay someone $50 in a calendar quarter you have to file all kinds of paperwork with the IRS.
Because a cute little kid who wants to be President of the United States already has the job, and she gets the job because she's a cute little kid, not because they need the work done.

So it's easier to just steal it form someone who has a job and does his own lawn work.
