SIT DOWN TO READ THIS ! ! ! !

Can't you hear students telling their teachers they want to be welfare recipients when they grow up?
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.
 
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 : $39,750
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
 
As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession.
 
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!
 
Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE !!
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE !!
This is beyond stupid!!!!!!!
 
Salary of Speaker of the House ...$223,500 FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid.
 
 
 
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,500 FOR LIFE!
Ditto last line.
 
 
 
Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065
Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000
Think about this !!!!!
 
 
 
Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE.
She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as 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 us .... the taxpayers
She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!
 
I think we found where the cuts should be made!
 
If you agree ...... pass it on. 
 
Wake UP America !
Unless you really don't care that your country is bankrupt at the likes of these people!
Tell Me Again Why It's So Wrong  Or So Dangerous To Have An Article V Amendment Proposal Convention To Repeal The 14th,16th&17th Amendments So We Can Rein In 
These Types Of Excesses Congress Imposes On Us At Our Expense!!!

Illegal Aliens Get More Welfare Benefits Than Citizens
Whether or not illegal aliens are doing jobs Americans won’t do, they’re certainly getting benefits Americans don’t get. This is the finding of a Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) report stating that a whopping 70 percent of illegal-immigrant households with children receive handouts via a government program. The rate for immigrant households with children overall (both legal and illegal) is 57 percent, versus only 39 percent for such native households.

This puts the lie to open-border advocates’ claim that immigration is a net plus for our nation. While this might have been true prior to the nanny state’s rise, when immigrants had to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, today’s statist, entitlement culture has changed that equation. As pressing one for English and Mexican flags waved in street protests evidence, many today come here not to assimilate but because “America, land of the free” has come to mean free stuff for non-Americans.

For almost 40 years, Puerto Rico has been a home to a majority of the major pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. In fact, over 100 companies have facilities on this beautiful tropical island, a Commonwealth of the United States. Renowned for its highly educated, innovative, and skilled workforce, extensive regulatory experience, and a rich history of product delivery, Puerto Rico has become one of the largest high-tech manufacturing centers in the United States. And, the future of Puerto Rico remains bright as it focuses on research & development, biotechnology, and its continuation as a leader in drug and device manufacturing.?????
