This thread is about more more more from Bernie Sanders......when we already have massive spending on Welfare and anti poverty measures as the number in this group increase.................
The reports posted, via CATO, shows there is no incentive to get off of these measures since in many cases they would be actually losing money if they did so.....................
The amounts listed by CATO are staggering regarding the amounts going out in some states................and the people in this country wonder why we are going broke..............add in the illegals getting them some too and we are headed for financial ruin...................
Bernie Sanders wants to hit the accelerator when we need to hit the brakes.
No, this thread is about the American people and the fact that we're sick of being ripped off and abused by the wealthy.
There is no incentive to get off of welfare because for many people available jobs (if there are any) do not pay a fair wage.
They have a choice:
1. Find a job, work your butt off to make someone else wealthy, live in abject poverty at a standard that's beneath that of a slave.
2. Live off of welfare, at the expense of the same wealthy people who would enslave you.
You're standard of living is about the same either way.
In most cases, if working paid a living wage, the vast majority would rather work. But that's not an option.
Many select #2 - and in a weird way, they are just being capitalists!
