Democracy In USA Is Worst And Cost Than In Nigeria by Sojicool(m): 7:07am On Oct 24, 2019 |
https://www.facebook.com/1196199096/posts/10220827948707300/ TELL ME THIS IS NOT SCREWED UP!!!! Have you ever wondered why very few Hawaiians are working when you visit those islands? All but a few States on the following list are Democrat strongholds ---so go figure! Democrats want to be taken care of by the government --- that’s the fundamental basis of a Democrat. Can't you just hear students telling their teachers in the future, they want to be welfare recipients & work the system when they grow up…? 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 the 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 l 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 : $21,910 Hawaii, DC, and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there. Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job. Time for a drastic change... America is virtually bankrupt. Note that California is $18.50 an hour. Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity … This is crazy! Now if you think that’s bad, read about these ANNUAL salaries: Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 Per Year FOR LIFE Salary of House/Senate...$174,000 Per Year FOR LIFE. This is beyond stupid! Salary of Speaker of the House ..$223,500 Per Year FOR LIFE! This is really stupid. Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 Per Year FOR LIFE! Ditto last line. Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065 Per Year... Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000 Per Year... Now, Think about this! Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She will retire as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year Plus she will receive an additional $193,400 a year for when she was Minority Leader, the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding. That's $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to the rest of us... the taxpayers! She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congresspersons that float in and out of Congress every year! I think we found where the cuts should be made! But do you think they will vote themselves a cushy retirement?! Doubtfull. We The People would have to FORCE them to make those changes! If you agree ....please pass this on, I just did. AND, can you imagine paying AOC and the Gang of 4 these sums for life ![]() |

I don’t know how true your article is but why are you so particular about AOC and the gang? Are they the first to be benefiting from it? Or did they made it that way? I’m a little confused! 1 Like |
