i agree.
I have personally heard of this. a social worker telling someone to quit their part time job and go on full assistance.. and they'd come out ahead...
go figure..

You raise their wages and they'll stop working just below the level where the freebies cut out. In Indiana, a single head of household with three kids can get something like $30K+ in financial assistance PLUS $4600 for each kid to attend private school with the state school voucher program. So, to replace that income, a person would have to earn over $21 per hour PLUS give up 40 hours per week of their time. Who in their right mind (as sick as it is) would actually work 40 hours per week at $15 per hour to give up $21 per hour worth of benefits? Its a sick, broken system.
