Can't you hear students telling their teachers they want to be welfare recipients when they grow up?

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!

If you agree ...... pass it on, I just did.

Wake UP America !

Unless you really don't care that your country is bankrupt at the likes of these people!

California Welfare - Good for Vacations

Americans For Prosperity - California, is serving as a watchdog for big government fraud, waste and abuse of tax payers money. They bring the following case to the light of day- not that the California government will do anything about it, becasue they need to attract and nuture Democrat voters.

Does this suprise anyone that California has such waste and abuse? To be sure, there is waste and abuse in any program, but one of the factors driving the California abuse is the sheer extent of their welfare program.

Things That Just Piss You Off

Welfare Fraud. The reports of a Seattle welfare recipient living in a million-dollar home on Lake Washington both highlights the two worst things of our entitlement systems where not only can people get away for this, but they come to expect the government owing them something. These scumbag's, a man and a woman, received $1,200 a month in public housing vouchers, plus state and government disability checks and food stamps. These checks had been coming since 2003.

More US sponsorship of Drug Cartels. Yet another report that US agents help launder drug Cartel money and smuggle that money back to Mexico. While I understand better than most that Law Enforcement agencies need much latitude to conduct investigations and some of those investigation necessitate documenting crimes, this latest report detailed how DEA Agents laundered or smuggled millions of dollars in drug proceeds to see how the system works and use the information against Mexican drug cartels,...and this operations covered shipments of hundreds of thousands of dollars in illegal cash across borders. I don't know,....maybe I'm just thinking since almost 50,000 people have been killed in the last five years in Mexico, related to the drugs, the cartels and all manner of fighting, one would think the U.S. could take some more active measures to target these cartels. Maybe some Hell Fire missiles fired from drones in these cartel safe houses.

Obama Spin Against Wall Street. Fueling the Occupy Wall Street is the Obama and Joe Biden driven class warfare rhetoric. Why are all these "want somethings" or entitlement seekers (Democrats in training) banging on Wall Street when Wall Street firms are Obama biggest contributors and, in fact, give to Obama at a 4:1 ratio to conservatives?

Justice Department Warns Alabama Cops. Our Illustrious Depart of Justice sent warning letters to all Alabama Law Enforcements agencies not to violate immigrants civil rights when enforcing the state's new tough illegal immigration law. Say What?!?!? This is the same Department of Justice that gave guns to Mexico Cartels which killed a US Border Patrol agent; elected not to prosecute Black militants intimidating voters in Philadelphia; and, have not brought charges against Obama crony John Corzine for $1.2 billion in lost investments at MF Global. This is the height of hypocrisy. (P.S. We know what MF Global stands for).
