H/T Christopher Hershman....Ever wonder why no one ever seems to get off Welfare? Maybe it’s because the money is so good. As of Labor Day 2013, 35 states paid more in welfare benefits than workers making minimum wage do. Everything was taken into account in the report by Cato’s Michael Tanner and Charles Hughes. Making more than minimum wage includes the average Earned Income Credit refund made to working families. But in some states, the benefits are much higher. In Hawaii, you would need a job paying over 60k to make the same as you do on Welfare. The median income in Hawaii is only 61k. So basically if you are on Welfare, you are in the middle class.
