    Default Put me in charge . . .

    Maybe she should run for President of the US.
    Written by a 21 year female

    Wow, this girl has a great plan! Love the last thing she would do the best.

    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.

    This was in the Waco Tribune Herald, Waco, TX, Nov 18, 2011

    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 legations. Then, we'll test
    recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If you want to reproduce or use
    drugs, alcohol, or smoke, 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.

    Now, if you have the guts - PASS IT ON...
    I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO GET THIS BACK, IF EVERYONE SENDS IT,
    I WILL GET OVER 220 BACK!!! I WOULD KNOW YOU SENT IT ON!!!

    Default Re: Put me in charge . . .

    A long time ago, there was an earnest plea from a "FAMILY with Lymes Disease." Most of the material contained in the family's blog appealing for help is contained in the "Put me in charge" e-mails. As the multitude of comments about this e-mail attest, this 21 year old female either "has a great plan!" or has been bashed around for that plan and it's solutions. This lady's opinion ONLY agrees with a newspaper article in the Waco Tribune-Herald.

    The author of this opinion letter, not a real plan with real solutions, has already identified himself as Alfred W. Evans in his letter to the Waco Tribune-Herald and is also posted in this discussion. He also wrote to TheVeteransVoice.com and SILENCEDOGOOD2010'S BLOG, which was reposted on BlackShards, and thanked them for posting his letter. "I googled “Put me in charge” and found it on many sites. Thanks again for getting what I consider common sense out to the people." This 21 year old female is receiving credit for your plan and your solution, Mr. Evans. Most of the heat and derogatory remarks are directed toward her and not to you, Mr. Evans. Do you care that this is happening? Why do you allow this to continue on this way? Better her than you? Some military operations use intelligence and deception to accomplish their mission. Food for thought. More on this further down below.

    To read more, see my posted comments on the Amazon discussion "Put Me In Charge!" This is the link to those comments.

    The sentiment is GREAT! Turn 35 and they'll have a shot at running for that position. (Assuming they're born here in the US). I'd probably vote for them, regardless of their sex. Lord knows we have some idiots in charge already... oh, sorry - intentionally diminished intelligently inclined individuals. Let's try to be PC in a politics discussion
