Welfare Beneifits System Broken : Why Work?

Interesting stuff - notice anything about the top 10 states with the highest benefits for welfare recipients? What political party has been in control of these states for the last 60 years?

But don't stress yourself if you voted for this nightmare to continue because you never knew this was taking place in your state, it's more important to do what they are told to do by their political leadership and media betters. 

It's very important to just keeping voting for more benefits to increase as the recipients are becoming dissatisfied with their income as it isn't keeping up with the need to stay current with the prevailing social trends.

It's also extremely important that you keep voting for the politicians that believe it is your duty to keep increasing the benefits to others that are unfortunately unable to obtain all of the necessities for the good life like your self.

Even more important for your well being, as the political leadership in these state will point out, you will feel better about yourself knowing you are donating an ever increasing part of your paycheck to allow others to enjoy life while they wait for employment opportunities to come their way.

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.
