News Release from Grassroot Institute
HONOLULU, Hawaii -- August 19, 2013 -- Hawaii leads the nation in making welfare more attractive than work according to a recent report by the CATO Institute. The white paper report "The Work Versus Welfare Trade-off: 2013" says:
Hawaii ranks first among the fifty states in several categories which produce a disincentive for welfare recipients to leave welfare or reduce their benefits for employment.
An average Hawaii welfare recipient would need to earn $60,590 in pre-tax wages in order to earn the equivalent of his or her welfare benefits.
Hawaii also ranked first in the hourly wage equivalent of welfare benefits per recipient with an average of $29.13."...
Hey it's more expensive to live in Hawaii, so welfare recipients need more money to be able to stay in that horrible place. Heck, we should builld a prison there for GITMO detainees.
The left is angry because they are now being judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin.
