WELFARE BENEFITS PREVENT RECIPIENTS FROM EVEN THINKING ABOUT WORKING!!!

Submitted by: Merlin

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!    
 
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 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:
