Study: Welfare Pays More Than Minimum Wage In Most States
Published August 21,2013 Foxnews.com
Summary:
Minimum wage in Americas $7.25. There has been talk of raising minimum wage is $9. This article talks about the fact the 35 states pay more in welfare than people working and getting minimum wage. 13 states pay over $15 dollars per hour. 9 states pay as much as a starting teachers salary. 6 states pay as much as a starting computer programmer. Long story short people on welfare are getting paid a lot.
My opinion:
I think that welfare does a lot of good and helps many family and people in need, but with that being said there is way to much money going in to fund welfare. So money people abuse the system and do not need welfare in the first place. I wish I got paid large sums of cash for doing nothing and sitting at home. Heck if I was getting paid as much as a computer programmer I would never try to find work. There is no incentive to work anymore. People on welfare aren't just getting enough for basic,s they're getting more than enough for luxurious items too. America is creating nothing but an entitlement society. No wonder obesity is bad, people get to sit on their butts all day and rake in the cash. Now on the topic of raising minimum wage, people should not get paid a lot for a job requiring minimum skills, however minimum wage should keep up with the rates of inflation so working Americans can keep up with this economy.
