Being on Welfare Now Pays the Equivalent Of $30.00 an Hour For A 40-Hour Week, While the Average Job Pays $20.00 An Hour... Go figure!

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



These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed. (Reported in Forbes Magazine Nov 2012!)

  And just when you thought that was bad enough… last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.

What’s the problem with that much support?

Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day.

So being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.

Buddy, can you spare a buck?

      Where the heck did you get those figures from ???? Ahh…FORBES..that lying sack of BS elite !
      That is so far off the mark, I’m darn near speechless!

      The real truth is workers, even full time, receive less than 2 cents on the Dollar! All of it is funneled back to people LIKE FORBES.

      Even with the food stamp program and other assistance programs, people are receiving less than two cents on the dollar.

      20 dollars an hour AVERAGE? And you don’t know that is BS???

      You don’t know that the minimum wage is defunct, and even the fast food chains like MacDonalds are telling their people they have to work TWO JOBS…and not to count on their fast food chains as a livable wage?
      You don’t know that 123 million are on the books now, as unemployed and that included the majority of teens and graduates who are looking for work as well as those the ptb dropped off their statistics as even looking for jobs now?
      You don’t know that all the corporations are closing the doors and laying people off like Blackberry just did under the commerce claim of ‘no profit received’; while posting record profits and throwing parties…like Sach’s just did?

      People, you need to call out Forbes on Twitter for that B.S.

      Note that the biggest states with larger welfare than worker populationshave legislatures dominated by the American Bar Association( the American branch of The English Lawyers Guild, a commercial union) and Port Authority Jurisdictions (branches of Maritime Law, English Admiralty Law).

      Dude. Learn some math before you try to do it. And do some research before you post drivel like this…

      The heart of the problem lays with P O L I T I C I A N S who are able to slit the throats of generations yet to come without concern. As false as the shine on Satan’s wings.

      Their conscience eventually becomes seared by money from lobbyists and corporations. They begin to arrogantly believe your hard-earned tax dollars belong to them, so they can wastefully spend it. The more they waste and mismanage your money, the more your taxes increase. They then convince you there is no money left to run the system (due to their mismanagement) and raise your taxes again as a result of their incompetence. They pat themselves on the back and vote themselves a pay-raise (when doing nothing to earn one).

      Someone who has never spent 1 minute in the real world and only knows what’s best for them and there friends, but never for regular working-class people. Once in office, they feed off your ignorance and fear. They then believe the laws they pass do not apply to them.

      They take exceedingly increasing amounts of money from citizens annually and not only make it disappear, but manage to create black holes and fluctuations in the entire space-time continuum with it (national debt clock) http://www.usdebtclock.org/

      TOTAL SELLOUTS!!!
