Cant you hear students telling their teachers they want to be welfare recipients when they grow up? Note that Calif is $18.50 an hour. *THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE WELFARE SYSTEM* *The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia. Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states. According to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. Its now more profitable to sit at home than it is to earn an honest days pay.* *Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.* *Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent salary that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:* *1. Hawaii : $60,590* *2. District of Columbia : $50,820* *3. Massachusetts : $50,540* *4. Connecticut : $44,370* *5. New York : $43,700* *6. New Jersey : $43,450* *7. Rhode Island : $43,330* *8. Vermont : $42,350* *9. New Hampshire : $39,750* *10. Maryland : $38,160* *11. California : $37,160* *12. Oregon : $34,300* *13. Wyoming : $32,620* *14. Nevada : $29,820* *15. Minnesota : $29,350* *16. Delaware : $29,220* *17. Washington : $28,840* *18. North Dakota : $28,830* *19. Pennsylvania : $28,670* *20. New Mexico : $27,900* *21. Montana : $26,930* *22. South Dakota : $26,610* *23. Kansas : $26,490* *24. Michigan : $26,430* *25. Alaska : $26,400* *26. Ohio : $26,200* *27. North Carolina : $25,760* *28. West Virginia : $24,900* *29. Alabama : $23,310* *30. Indiana : $22,900* *31 Missouri : $22,800* *32. Oklahoma : $22,480* *33. Louisiana : $22,250* *34. South Carolina : $21,910 * *As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession. Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there. Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job. Time for a drastic change. America is virtually bankrupt.* Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity This is crazy! *Salary of retired US Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE * *Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid.* *Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500 FOR LIFE! This is really stupid. * *Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 FOR LIFE! Ditto last line.* *Average Salary of a teacher .. $40,065 * *Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000 * *Think about this.* *Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 year. * *PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader. * *Thats $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to us .... the taxpayers*But I cannot receive ANY Social Security (for which I paid in for the necessary quarters and Bill paid maximum for 34 years and collected for 11 Years ) because I receive a pension from the state of Nevada (having been employed at a City/County Hospital for 14 1/2 years). *She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!* *I think we found where the cuts should be made!* GOD BLESS AMERICA --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
