THIS IS WHY NO ONE IS WORKING!!
The Cato Institute released an updated 2016 study showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 American states, and the District of Columbia.
Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour to stay home 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 $29.13per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary 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:39,75
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 : $21,910
Hawaii, DC and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average wage folks earn there.
Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job. Time for a drastic change.. Americans are not stupid.
Note that California is $18.50 an hour. Are we Nuts or what? How do we undo this type of stupidity.

The states are where we must fight all this. They can refuse to play ball, but they have to be ready to lose the Federal money. Since the Civil War nobody wants to buck the Federal government.
