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: $21,910

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.

Note that California is $18.50 an hour.

Are we nuts or what? How do we undo 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
? Salary of Speaker of the House -- $223,500 FOR LIFE
? Salary of Majority/Minority- $193,400
? 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. 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.

Wake UP America!
