I
don't think all of the figures about our politicians are accurate, well
I hope that no one can draw life time retirement as a member
of Congress, Minority Leader, and Speaker at the same time !!!! But I do
know about the Welfare system here in Scioto County.
In 1970 when I
was President of the Portsmouth Motorcycle Club, I signed the deed for
22 acres we bought in Shawnee Forest close to Lake Roosevelt. The Club's
treasure was the attorney in charge of the Legal Aid, the name for
the free attorneys representing the poor and welfare recipients here in
Ohio at that time. The couple we bought the land from were on welfare
and they had 20 kids !!!! After our first meeting at their house, when
we left Lou told me that at that time each kid represented a total
monthly income of $750, thus a monthly income of $15,000
plus Medicaid, assistance on their utilities, etc. And this also equates
to an annual income of $180,000 in1970 !!!!!!!!!!!!
The youngest
kid in this family attended Friendship Elementary and on the first day
of school the teacher was going around the room asking her students what
they wanted to do after they got out of school. Well the young
gentleman got up and said, "I want to be like mom & dad and all my
brothers and sisters, get married and have kids and go on Welfare". A
guy that was an apprentice pipe fitter when I was an apprentice
electrician was in the class, plus he lived close to them, and knew the
whole family and heard the statement personally.
I sure as heck didn't make that kind of money as a union electrician, so who's the bigger fool here ????
About 5 months after I got hurt, I tried to get some food stamps and assistance, but no, I couldn't get either !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WE ARE IN DEEP DO-DO
Subject: OBSCENE SALARIES .......The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 study.
How interesting that some of these compound – see the Pelosi example
at the end….guess we can’t be
broke – we still have a checkbook………….
It's truly sad to be living through & watching the decline of a
once great nation:
THE WORK ETHIC WE INHERITED GROWING UP HAS FALLEN PREY TO THE
'WELFARE' SYSTEM
The Cato Institute released an updated 2013 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 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.
Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity on
the part of Americans?
This is crazy!
Salary of retired US Presidents
$180,000 FOR LIFE
Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE
This is stupid.
Salary of Speaker of the House ....$223,500
FOR LIFE!
This is really stupid.
Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400
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.
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, I just did.
