THE  WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE 'WELFARE'
SYSTEM

The  Cato Institute released an updated 2014 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.  It’s now more profitable to sit at  home and watch TV than it is to
earn an honest day’s 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 : $21,91
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.

Note that  California is $18.50 an hour.
Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this  type of stupidity … This is
crazy!

Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR  LIFE
This is beyond 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 a year. PLUS she will receive an
additional  $193,400 a year as Minority Leader, the fact that she has become
rich while in office notwithstanding.

That's $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE  including FREE medical which is
not available to us .... the  taxpayers.

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!
