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.

The Demise of America

Nothing can articulate the demise of America better than Judge Judy. From the 51% who don't pay income tax; to the Occupy Wall Street people who demand the government pay off their student loans; to the public sector Unions who are driving their respective states into bankruptcy;...the list goes on. So here is "The Demise of America" I could have also titled this, "You Go Girl! - Judge Judy lectures Loser"



 



By the way, we are posting the Israeli version of the "Don't Tread On Me" flag to show solidarity with the Israeli people under seige not only from violent Muslim surrounding their country, but by the United Nations as well.

Foreign Perspective on Electing Obama

We have a serious education problem in this country. The Czech Republic understands the problem:

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president."

"The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools, such as those who made him their President.”

An excerpt from a the Czech Republic newspaper Prager Zeitung.
