The Real Cost of “Free Money” - Why Work When You Can be a “Taker”?

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Why does a large portion of the American population choose not to work when there are many jobs available? The answer is simple. Why work when you can get two or three times as much money from unemployment, disability, and/or welfare benefits (subsidized housing, food stamps, free cellphones, etc.) as you can from a temporary or part-time job?

Why work whan you can live a life of legally enforced leisure?

The only downside is that working people – whose taxes pay for it – call you a ‘taker’, but what the hell?

If the working class doesn’t want ‘takers’ they can vote in people who understand that what’s good for American investment banks is really, really bad for Americans – Tom Dennen

Oh, and BTW, this whole ‘taker’ program was a Republican idea!

  “... entitlement payments to Americans, since 1960, have risen annually by 9.5 percent… over the past 50 years the ever-increasing array of transfer payments to Americans have risen 727 percent. In 2010 such payments alone totalled $2.3 trillion with Social Security (for old age and disability) accounting for 31 percent, Medicare 24 percent, Medicaid 18 percent, Income Maintenance 12 percent, other giveaways (free cell-phones, support for a broken education system, housing, the arts, etc.) 8 percent, and Unemployment Insurance 6 percent (Eberstadt 2012, C1-2).

This has resulted in 49 percent of American households receiving one or more government transfer benefits (Eberstadt 2013); this amounts to 18 percent of all personal income and a burden of $7,400 for every American.

Or what can be called “The American Pseudo-Poverty Underclass” of… voters!

      At least there isn’t miles of bread lines JP Morgan did a brilliant job on covering up the illusion the MSM calls “A Recovery”.

      Social Security was intended to be a retirement fund for those that pay into it. When the snot faced liberals desided to start handing it out to lazy people who have no intention of finding a job, and have never paid a penny in Fdic funds it started depleteing the funds that hard working Americans paid into their entire adult lives. Its like someone paying a stranger out of their owne I.r.a. or 401k plan. “IF YOU NEVER PAID INTO SSI YOU SHOULD NOT GET ANYTHING OUT “. If our politicians had iqs over 40 they would realise this and make the nessesary changes.
