Are we crazy? Welfare payments for doing NOTHING!

 

 OBSCENE SALARIES   

 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. It’s now more
profitable to sit at home 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 : $21,910

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 on the part of Americans?
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 a year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader. 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!

HAMAS - anything to gain their ends, including allowing civilians to be killed.

Since these July, 2014 Hamas attacks on Israel, there have been many civilian deaths in Gaza. Hamas, like other Muslim terrorists, don't care about anything other than their political ends. If they have to fire into Israel from civilian areas to provoke Israeli firing back into the areas where Hamas is firing from, they will do so. They can now proclaim Israel is attacking civilians, schools, hospitals, et al.

Are we understanding this?

I note MM in America is portraying Israel as the bad guy here. This is to be expected as it fits the agenda of the current occupant of the White House and his minions.

COMMUNIST RUSSIA IS THE CULPRIT, NOT 'SEPARTISTS'

Most of the unrest in the world can be directly linked to the communist governments of Russia and China. They have been contributing to world unrest since they grabbed power during the Russian Revolution and postwar China. They don't like to be publicly seen as doing the dirty work; they use proxy governments they install, or attempt to install, in power.

President Roosevelt, in his weakened state, sowed the seeds of continued communist aggression when he met with Stalin and Churchill in Yalta. Either he was naive or did not possess the will to understand the ultimate goals of postwar Russia.

General George S. Patton had the right idea, although it would have not been the American way. He wanted to turn the German Army around and, along with U.S. forces, drive the communist forces back to Russia and into oblivion. It could've happened but didn't.

The U.S. under the current administration is disarming our military forces and ultimate capabilities. At the same time they continue to dismiss American military officers while replacing them with their own (Stalin-style political cadre). They are conducting fire sales on military equipment instead of pre-positioning it in the likely event that communists throughout the world continue their ongoing attempts to conquer liberty-loving nations.

The free world has long looked to the U.S. for stability and leadership. Today they are not seeing it because it is no longer there.
