See Welfare: A Better Deal than Work


”We found that, just to break even, a person on welfare would often have to take a job that paid considerably more than the value of the forgone welfare benefits. In Hawaii, for example, a person leaving welfare for work would have to earn more than $60,590 a year to be better off. In fact, welfare currently pays more than a minimum-wage job in 34 states and the District of Columbia. In Hawaii, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington, D.C., welfare pays more than a $20-an-hour job, and in five additional states it yields more than a $15-per-hour job.”


The sad truth is, as I previously pointed out, hard-working wage earners have been made into tax slaves to finance the economic needs of the above mentioned tax getters, and in many cases the tax getter fairs much better financially than the tax paying slave.

There was a time not too long ago in New York when able-bodied people were ashamed to accept home relief, a program created by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1931 when he was Governor. Now New York City is infested with ticks and fleas who not only demand welfare, but use it to buy beer, wine, drugs, sex, and Lotto tickets.
