So we tell you that leftist filth are destroying this country. Here is an example.

This is how Blue states remain blue, buying votes by making people dependent. It should also be noted that states have authority over the minimum wage and we don't need a federal mandate

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.

Paying people more money on welfare than the average job would bring promotes the use of welfare. Yet another reason why liberalism is a mental disorder.

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”

That's why Democrats want to bring in all the illegals. They buy votes and when welfare people don't work, they get cheap labor. No big deal to Biden. He'll just poof trillions more out of thin air to pay for it all.

Thanks for sharing. Taking the first plane to Hawaii in the morning.

So, do you want those people making next to nothing??? Spending nothing??
 
They aren't stealing from anybody. Biden is stealing from you and giving them your money.
Are you saying this wasn't the case during the Trump administration?
 
To right wingers, it's very important to punish poor people.
Only the ones abusing the system. And it's also important to punish politicians who buy votes from those they know are abusing the system. Joe's hiring 87,000 new IRS agents to go after you but where is his new army of welfare fraud investigators?

The amount lost from welfare fraud is inconsequential.

Kinda like the number of voter fraud cases in the 2020 election.

It may exist somewhere but in numbers so small it’s pointless to dedicate resources to fighting it
 
$39k in NH won't pay rent and bills. And certainly won't cover food and rent and bills.

And I think that number is damned dodgy. I help with qualified addicts in recovery with bennies who still need to work 50+ hours to break even.

Two points: First, what is the breakdown of these benefits? Is this cash aid? Or is this the average combined value of all forms of assistance, including cash aid, food stamps, housing assistance and Medicaid?

Second, what evidence do you have that people on welfare and public assistance vote for the Democratic Party in greater numbers?

Because assuming they do for the sake of argument, in order to take votes back from the Democratic Party, wouldn't the intelligent thing for the Republicans be to offer something better to these Democrat voters?

I think Biden's immigrants have already taken all the houses. If you are white, you might be welcome on Martha's Vinyard though.

Nah, I'll just take the $60,000 and pitch a tent.

Your figures per state just reflects the cost of living differentials per state.

Are you always this naive or only when it comes to giving away taxpayers hard earned dollars?
 
Which is of course everyone using it, as far as you guys are concerned.
At least it injects a little fiscal discipline into the system. That's much better than Biden's system of pretending nobody abuses the system. That's just dishonest, unethical, immoral and illegal. They know full well how much it gets abused but look the other way because that's how the illegal vote buying scam works.

So, exactly how much of it is being abused?
