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

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!
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!
