Problem: Some people are poor, but it is a bad idea to have them running around the streets of our retail areas asking for shit. It ruins our retail experience and can make one melancholy. So we give them money for rent and food so their children don't grow up too weak to staff our military. But they get dependant on this posh lifestyle of bare subsistance. Some of them even have cable tv!
Solution: We make them wear "dog collars" that shock them into periodic bouts of misery. Technology has advanced so that the poor can be forced to wear devices that not only can mete out punishment but do it at the most effective times to society based on bio-feedback from the freeloader. In this way the poor can be denied a whole range of experiences reserved for those who pay their fair share. For example, maybe a welfare recipient has used their food stamps to purchase a steak (they all do it). When the dog collar recognizes a pattern of happiness that corresponds to steak-enjoyment, a harmless but pervasive shock can be sent to the wearer. Behavior that will help them pull themselves up by their own bootstraps will be reinforced and negative behavior will be discouraged.
Exciting things are being done in the high interest, used luxury car lending market (currently making bigleague profits from African-Americans) to control borrowers and protect the interests of lenders. I suggest that the incoming government apply these tactics to the leeches who are currently bankrupting our system.
Respectfully submitted for your consideration.
