Don't know if this letter is ligit, but I like it.

Darn good ideas!

This was written by a 21 yr old female who gets it. It's her future shes
worried about and this is how she feels about the social welfare big
government state that shes being forced to live in! These solutions are
just common sense in her opinion.

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 Govt 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 Govt welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
