MI man wins lottery and stays on welfare & food stamps

[doctor4766]

Put me in charge of food stamps. I'd get rid of EBT 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.




Put me in charge of verification. 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 considered 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 systemrewards them for continuing to make bad choices.



NOW
This is the biggie of the best ideas.


AND while you are on Government 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 Government welfare check.



If you want to vote, then GET A JOB.

Wow. A lot of that made sense but,I have 2 questions for you.

Really not a radical idea.  Our founding fathers said "no property, no vote".  We were a cash strapped nation in the beginning, so it centered on real estate instead of money.  While the currency has changed, we still face the same issue/threat.  We need to get back to, at least, a wieghted vote.

Typical Government - " We are actively trying to reverse the rules and policies related to this issue".   

Even though this guy "shouldn't" be getting these benefits, more power to him.   

Maybe he's showing how ridiculous some of the laws and rules are ?
