How to reduce taxes, eliminate welfare,
and reduce organ donor shortages at no
cost to honest hardworking individuals
by
Vox Populii
Has it ever bugged you that as a tax paying citizen in this fine
nation of ours that *YOU* have to pay for non productive fucking leeches who
sit at home all day, swilling beer, playing nintendo and generally whacking
off? I know I'm pissed off! 1/3 of my income goes to pay for social programs,
and it makes me as mad as hell that I'm forced to subsidize loozers( yeah
that's right, and if you find this antagonistic, I guess you know what I
think of you so piss off, format your hard drive, do the world a favor and
go crawl in a corner and fucking die already ).
To the extent that the following issues represent serious problems,
I offer solutions. These *are* workable, if our society had the balls to
implement em. Typically however, thoughts like these are known to cause
severe angst in yuppies. We can only wish that this paradise would come
about!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
1. Jails are overcrowded( why should we pay for luxury
accommodations for these freaks? ).
2. We have a shortage of organ donors
3. Our society is not strong enough( think of imperial
Rome, where it was not unusual for the average citizen
to see bloodshed each and every day ). Eventually, our
way of life will degenerate or rot.
4. We don't have enough entertainment( or the
entertainment is not intense enough...take your pick ).
5. People who aren't productive can get by just by
sucking on the public tit.
6. We pay way too much FUCKING TAXES!
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Did any of that get you mad? Did it make your blood boil? If it did,
then I've got respect for you. If it didn't, well...fuck off and die. I've
got more respect for someone working at McDonalds then for someone collecting
welfare. At least the person working at McDick's is contributing something
to society by virtue of participating in the social order.
The first plan will virtually eliminate welfare overnite AND provide
fresh supplies of organs and bodies for medical experimentation. It operates
under the principle that while people are lazy( and none more so than the
people on welfare )there is only so high a price that people will pay for
'free' stuff. To this end, I have segregated people on welfare into three
categories;
i) People who can work, but don't want to.
ii) People who can work, but have been unable to
find jobs.
iii) People who are unable to work for
whatever reason( physical or mental
disability )
Class i)
~~~~~~~~
Fuck em. Let them rot, or kick them out of Canada. You might even want
to send em up to Baffin Island. We *all* know someone like this. It's your
typical person who goes and buys booze with his/her welfare cheque, goes on
a week long drunk, and then ends up robbing someone to buy more booze. I'd be
tempted to say let the law of the jingle take care of em if it weren't for
the fact that these type of people would probably wait outside your door to
mug you. Shooting's too good for them, but lest I be accused of inhumaity, I
say ship the bums off to er Somolia? Yeah, and then see how long they survive
( note: banishment was used in Ancient Greece ). If someone can't work, that's
neither my concern nor yours. So what if these people start hanging around on
the streets; we can ship them away. In the event they *don't* want to go away,
they go into the arena's( see below please ).
Class ii)
~~~~~~~~~
Unfortunately, the government has fucked us all over to the point
where the economy is a shambles, and there are those of us who *would* work,
but are unable to find jobs. Still, pathetic forms of mercy are no reason to
shell out *YOUR* hard earned dollars. Class ii individuals could easily slip
to class one individuals. Therefore, I propose that in exchange for a
subsistence level of food and shelter, these people be forced to work on
public projects( e.g. highway repairs, street repairs, cleanup, snow removal,
etc ). For as long as work is available in the public sector, and as long as
these people are willing to accept a demeaning level of existence, I see no
reason why we should not exploit them as a cheap source of labor. However,
lest these individuals come to see 'Big brother' as a provider, they should be
made to attempt job location at least once a month. In any event, when there
is no public work available, I'd kick these people off. Still, these people
are more respectable than class i people.
Class iii)
~~~~~~~~~~
This is the most problematic group of people to be dealt with; it
includes physically handicapped people, and individuals who are mentally
retarded. They may or may not wish to work( not that anyone would necessarily
wish to hire them ), nor may they even have an idea of what is constituted by
the concept of work. How do you deal with someone who is labelled as a
perpetual loser in society? How do you do this without appearing to be
inhumane? I'm not a nazi, nor would I wish to see people suffer unnecessarily
( those who deserve to suffer...well... ) If you accept that the jobs are
neither available for this group of people, nor could they fill such jobs if
they were in fact available, what is the incentive for society to sustain
their lives. I.e. what is the motivation for *YOU* Mr. taxpayer to shell out
some of his/her hard earned dollars to keep a non productive person alive?
There is none.....UNLESS they participate in my schemata of voluntary
organ donations. In my extreme generosity, I am willing to allow these
individuals to receive subsistence assistance from the state( fuck is that an
annoying term )in exchange for being placed on an organ donor bank.
What I propose is that each month, 8.25% of welfare recipients have
their names chosen at random. Those who are chosen are killed, and their
blood, tissue, skin, etc( i.e. all biologically useful substances )are placed
in storage or immediately given for transplant. The 8.25% represents a
theoretical breakpoint such that any recipient of welfare( if he or she is
truly so lazy or desperate )has only a 50% chance of still 'being in the
program' after a six month period. Work out what 91.75% raised to the sixth
power is...
Quite obviously we would not expect people to meekly march to their
deaths after having 'their number' come up, so what I propose is that
hospitals become welfare distribution centers. On any given day of the month,
approximately 3.33% of total welfare recipients would go to the hospital, be
strapped in a chair, and play the lottery of life (grin), at which point they
would have a 91.75% chance of receiving social assistance, and an 8.25% chance
of being taken for science. If they have the misfortune to draw a ticket, they
would be mercifully put unconscious and then cut up for immediate use or
storage.
The interesting thing about this plan is that it assures us of a
constant supply of fresh organs each and every day. No more blood bank
shortages. And my fellow taxpayer, LESS sucking at the public tit. YOUR taxes
go down. It's purely voluntary, with no one forced to participate. The only
point of no return is after someone has drawn a random number. Additionally,
this would tend to strengthen our society, for our weakest members tend to be
the ones receiving social assistance.
______________________________________________________________________________
The second problem that I wish to deal with is overcrowding in our
jail systems. They're overflowing with people, the courts are backlogged with
the most trivial of offenses, the parole system lets hardened criminals out
far too early, and some mass murderer who has raped and killed a dozen kids
gets luxury accommodations for years( while we have to spend OUR money to buy
a turkey for Christmas, these low life scum get to eat for free ).
This plan operates under the principal that humans are greedy( and
particularly the unintelligent amongst us are greedy; not quite understanding
that you have to work for what you get in life ).
I propose that for each individual who has committed a felony offense,
they have the offense of working off a portion of their sentence in the
following fashion; if a person has a 10 year sentence, he( or she ) may elect
to enter into the arena for a fight to the death with another convict( who
has also voluntarily elected to enter into the arena ). On each Friday of the
week, a set of such fights is held at the biggest public arena in each state
capital. Contestants are allowed to choose from a variety of weapons with
which to attempt to kill their opponents; ranging from knives to flails, etc.
The victor of said match would receive a one year reduction from his jail
term, while the loser is snuffed out. The person who( for example )had a ten
year sentence would now only have a nine year sentence. To have the jail term
reduced to zero, this person would have to win ten such matches. At any stage
in the process, he/she may drop out( an interesting modification might be to
have one criminal fight two; if the single man won, he would receive a 2 year
reduction, if the pair won, they would receive a 1/2 year reduction ).
Some curious points to be noted about this proposal are;
-the shorter a period of time a person is to be incarcerated,
the less likely they would risk the 'games'.
-It doesn't really matter if a mass murderer has been let
free( e.g. Jeffery Dahmer has a 125 year sentence ), because
in order to become free, he must kill 125 other scum. I would
say this person has done a great service to society then.
The only stipulation I would like to add is that the Gladiator fights
will have a no tie rule imposed upon them. The contestants are to understand
in advance that ties are not acceptable. A contestant may however opt to pull
out of a fight with the following penalty; one year will be added to his
sentence for cowardice. The opposing contestant is not penalized, but is
neither rewarded. In the event of such an act of cowardice though, the
remaining contestant has first right of rematch with this person. Should the
'withdrawing' gladiator refuse to refight within a one year period, 10 years
shall be added to his sentence.
Upon being victorious for the 20th time( e.g. if the criminal had a
20 year sentence ), a criminal shall be judged to have paid fully and
completely for his crimes against society. On that instant , he shall be
declared a free man with a complete pardon( as opposed to parole ). In order
to expedite his return to society, he shall be awarded a one time sum of
10,000$ paid by admission tickets to the fights.

Public executions:
All executions of criminals shall take place in public, with the right
of execution decided upon by voluntary participation in a lottery. The person
whose name/number is drawn gets to decide the method of execution of the
convicted criminal. Methods are to include hanging, shooting , electrocution
and beheading. Public executions are to be televised by all stations that
wish to do so. Imperial Rome had it's 'bread and circuses', and it was
considered to be quite civilized. At one time, it was the zenith of
civilization on this planet.
Of course, we could expect all sorts of civil libertarians to snivel
and whine at these proposals( they're probably recipients of welfare handouts
themselves ), but so what? We're not concerned with people like this.
Sparta( an ancient Greek culture in rough proximity to Athens )was a
warrior society with a quite rigid code of ethics. What would be wrong with
'thinking' with our blood a little bit? Our culture has become too soft.
