\nTHE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE ‘WELFARE’ SYSTEM.<\/p>\n

\tThe 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.<\/p>\n

\tEven worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states.<\/p>\n

\tAccording to the study, welfare benefits have increased faster than minimum wage. It\u2019s now more profitable to sit at home and watch TV than it is to earn an honest day\u2019s pay.<\/p>\n

\tHawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.<\/p>\n

\tHere is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent \u201csalary\u201d that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:
\n\t1. Hawaii : $60,590
\n\t2. District of Columbia :$50,820
\n\t3. Massachusetts : $50,540
\n\t4. Connecticut : $44,370
\n\t5. New York : $43,700
\n\t6. New Jersey : $43,450
\n\t7. Rhode Island : $43,330
\n\t8. Vermont : $42,350
\n\t9. New Hampshire : $39,750
\n\t10. Maryland : $38,160
\n\t11. California : $37,160
\n\t12. Oregon : $34,300
\n\t13. Wyoming : $32,620
\n\t14. Nevada : $29,820
\n\t15. Minnesota : $29,350
\n\t16. Delaware : $29,220
\n\t17. Washington : $28,840
\n\t18. North Dakota : $28,830
\n\t19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
\n\t20. New Mexico : $27,900
\n\t21. Montana : $26,930
\n\t22. South Dakota : $26,610
\n\t23. Kansas : $26,490
\n\t24. Michigan : $26,430
\n\t25. Alaska : $26,400
\n\t26. Ohio : $26,200
\n\t27. North Carolina : $25,760
\n\t28. West Virginia : $24,900
\n\t29. Alabama : $23,310
\n\t30. Indiana : $22,900
\n\t31. Missouri : $22,800
\n\t32. Oklahoma : $22,480
\n\t33. Louisiana : $22,250
\n\t34. South Carolina : $21,910<\/p>\n

\tAs 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.<\/p>\n

\tHawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there.<\/p>\n

\tIs it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job?<\/p>\n

\tTime for a drastic change . . . America is virtually bankrupt.
\n\tNote that California is $18.50 an hour.
\n\tAre we nuts or what? How do we undo this type of stupidity? This is crazy!<\/p>\n

I always thought the US was GREAT AND WILL BE NO MATTER WHO IS President . He will only be there till WE say so . Just hope that his son wont run in his place or Penice in 2024 .

Finisher notwithstanding, it\u2019s nice to see President Trump reenergized now that he was found Not Guilty Forever of both counts for impeachment.<\/p>\n

\tDespite these 3 years of attempts to waylay President Trump, he has continued to hugely increase the list of 300 accomplishments shown by Skinny. He has become the most productive President fulfilling his campaign promises in all U.S. history. And it will get better.<\/p>\n

\tThe good news from these 3 years of full unthrottled obstruction of a lawfully elected and lawfully acting President is that the obstructionists will lose the House of Representatives (41 swing districts) and lose more seats in the Senate (Alabama, etc.). Wait until you see what happens then.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

So you like the first thing he did after he got the backing of all the Republicans that admitted after ward that he was guilty but did not deserve the impeachment .Just think if Obama or any other President would have done that .
\n\tClinton got his for a blow job which I think was way less of an act . Now there is NO stopping Trump and that will be True for ALL others to come in future .
\n\tWhat is going on now is a big headache for him and lets see if he can walk the walk and not talk so much . He said the count was 15 and would be down to 5 by the end of the week well you tell me that is true right . He has gotten his team in there so things will just go away if not for the free press . Just saying . It may take 5 more years to get him out but it will take more years to get back to were we were .
\n\tWith all safe guards going away things will get dirty .
