Put me in charge of benefit payments.
I’d get rid of cash payments and provide vouchers for bags of rice, tins of powdered milk, tins of beans, blocks of cheese and basic sanitary items. If benefit scroungers want steak, burgers, takeaways and junk food, then they can get a job.
Put me in charge of the NHS.
The first thing I’d do is provide all women on benefits with birth control implants. Then, test them all for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine. If benefit scroungers want to use drugs, drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes AND reproduce, then they can get a job.
Put me in charge of local authority housing.
Maintaining the property, by keeping it clean and in a good state of repair, would be compulsory. The ‘home’ would be subject to inspections at anytime and all possessions inventoried. If benefit scroungers want a plasma TV, Sky Sports and Movies or an Xbox 360, then they can get a job … and their own home.
Put me in charge of job centres.
You will either search for employment each week, no matter what the job entails, or you will report for community work. This may mean clearing the road verges, pavements and open spaces of rubbish or painting and repairing local authority housing …. or whatever else that’s necessary to help maintain public property and amenities that are paid for by the tax payer. If benefit scroungers want fancy 20 inch alloys, low profile tyres and a ‘dooof dooof’ stereo, then they can get a job.
And before anyone starts whining, that I’ve infringed on someone’s human rights, please note that all of the above is voluntary. If you want the hard earned cash of the taxpayer … and any housing assistance, then it’s up to you to accept the rules.
AND before anyone says that any of this this would be demeaning, or ruin someones self esteem, or was sexist … please consider that if taxpayers are expected to pay for other people’s shortcomings, then we should at least attempt to make them learn about the consequences of making poor life choices.
The current system rewards those people who continue to make poor life choices.
AND FINALLY …while anyone is on benefits or living in local authority housing, they will no longer have the right to VOTE! That would be a conflict of interest. If benefit scroungers want to vote, then they can get a job.
