The CATO Institute and Mike Tanner put out this great narrative on why people don't want to work - because if they did, they'd
earn less money!

Pretty darn screwed up in my book. wink

Or the head of the snake! Like this news is any real revelation. See them all day walking past the shop, no job, no license, new tats, and a cell phone. EBT card to buy HoHo's, Dingdongs, soda, and any kind of frozen prepared TV dinner, pizza, burritos, etc.
Turbine powered mini marts that trade EBT money .50 cents on the dollar for cigarettes and beer/booze. Same with tattoo parlors.
When the takers out number the givers, look out.

Last time I looked back, there are many more riding in the wagon than pulling it.

As a single mom with two kids, you would have to make $45K ($22.50/hour 2000 hours per year) a year to "break even" compared to making no reportable income. How many $22.50/hour entry level jobs exist?

As a single mom with two kids you would have to make almost $70K a year to get ahead of the fair market value of what you were "entitled to" when you were making $29K reportable.

...and there is no way to get promoted in the welfare system, hence the creation of a permanent underclass.

That study is almost 20 years old. Not that the premise is wrong.

as long as the minimum wage is below the poverty line - and there is a mass of people voting that don't make a decent wage - this is always going to be the case.

either get rid of the safety net or raise wages - that's the only two options

well I guess a 3rd option is to do nothing and let the whole thing collapse for both the poor and the people working. When the dollar collapses, it won't just be for the people drawing welfare.

A new study is coming out by the CATO Institute in a week, or so, and the media is getting primed up for it.

I couldn't see the fine print. Does anyone know if free medical for the family was figured in the hourly wage.
