Bob Edwards, 6 yr Michigan Legislator, Previous Payson Mayor, former Director of Michigan Employment Dept; and former Manager of two large senior housing complexes in Flint, Michigan.

Mr. Edwards now lives in Buckeye, Arizona.  He recently gave a talk at Payson Tea Party on a proposal of his that is fascinating.

His talk would briefly comment on the Progressive battle against America and its long term impact on America if we don’t find a way to stop the ever increasing dependency and Progressive controlled voter pool.  He will briefly cover the main points of the proposal by reviewing a handout summarizing it and then will have a Q & A session.

Summary of the Proposal:
• To morph the Welfare Department into the Employment Department
• Have Welfare recipients continue to receive a ‘Basic Benefit’ in line with the current welfare grants but, to receive it, they have to be available for and accept work
• Would allow welfare recipients to break out of their poverty prisons and better their lives
• The necessary jobs would come from employers (home owners and businesses) who would be able to hire them for as long or short as they want with absolutely no risk… no taxes, no worry if they are legal and no worry about workers compensation or unemployment. In addition, the employer chooses the rate of pay depending on the employee value and the free market.
• It is a redo of a program developed by a Doctor of Economics and introduced in the Michigan Legislature in the 1970’s

(note to myself from Bob’s email:) Bob will give me a call later to discuss and answer any questions I might have.
