Welfare Letter

Shawnee123 · 01-17-2008, 01:24 PM

Dear Guvmint:

This is the best job ever! Alls I gots to do is get pregnant once a year and the money keeps rolling in. Billy Bob only make 5 bucks an hour over washing dishes at the truck stop, but since I been poppin' out these young'uns I get an extra 6000 bucks from our tax return every year. Not to mention the free housing and health care.

Ooops, gotta run...Billy Bob is home on break and wants him a quick somethin'.

Thanks again,

Your ever faithful employee,

Marletta

You must work for a social service or a hospital.

Shawnee123 · 01-17-2008, 02:43 PM

lol...something like that. I'm not (as you know) completely oblivious to the plight of the poor...but I see so many renderings of the above fabrication that every now and then I just want to smack someone.

I'm so jaded.

Funny how many people in the "helping" professions become jaded over the years. I join you.

How do we convince poor and/or less educated people to stop reproducing? I'm actually being serious here.

I don't believe we can, nor should we try. Maybe a better solution is to give them the education and choices required to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It would be a pretty cheap thing to do and much less expensive then having to pay for another welfare baby. Just my thoughts.

I thought you were being sarcastic when I read this. Then I realised it may not be the case in the US. Trust me, it doesn't work. We have the above and there are still people spawning recklessly and damaging another generation born into poverty, ignorance, bad parenting and all round stupid choices.

I suggest 3 year implants for every girl aged 14 unless there is a specific medical case against it. Okay, there are some who will get pregnant the day after it is removed, but at least they've had a chance to get through basic schooling by then.

I'm cut from a different cloth...I've never wanted kids, so I was religious about contraception.

You mean the "you don't deserve to have children" message won't work?

TheMercenary · 01-17-2008, 08:37 PM

Well we did try a bit of Eugenics in the US before so it might work, but how would you convince the bleeding hearts?

Well, the straightforward action would be to take away all incentives that come with having them--no more tax credits, no more welfare...

But there's that pesky also-hurts-the-innocent-kids side to it.
