USA: How to work minimum hours and earn more than the middle class

Unbelievable! Working ONE WEEK a month at minimum wage will benefit you better than working at a $60,000-a-year, full-time, high-stress job in the United States. This is how the very top of America’s social order steals from the middle class every day.

Here is the chart to prove it:


The chart is quite revealing. A single parent family of three making $14,500 a year (minimum wage) has MORE disposable income than a family making $60,000 a year.

And if that wasn’t enough, there’s more:

If the family provider works only one week a month at minimum wage, he or she makes 92 percent as much as a full-time provider grossing $60,000 a year.

Ever wonder why Obama was so focused on health reform? It’s because those who have no interest, or ability in working at a job, receive as much money as representatives of America’s once exalted middle class.

First of all, working one week a month, saves big-time on child care. But the real big-ticket item is Medicaid, which has minimal deductibles and copays. By working only one week a month at a minimum wage job, a provider is able to get total medical coverage for next to nothing.

Compare this to the family provider making $60,000 a year. A typical Mississippi family coverage would cost around $12,000, then adding deductibles and copays adds about an additional $4,500 to the bill. That’s a big hit.

There is a reason a full-time worker may not be excited to learn there is little to show for doing the “right thing.”

The full-time $60,000-a-year job is much more demanding than a person working one week a month at minimum wage. Presumably, the low-income parent will have more energy to attend to the various stresses of managing a household.

Best of all: being on welfare does not judge you if you are stupid enough not to take drugs every day, to make some sense out of this Mephistophelian tragicomedy known as living in the USA:

Most private workplaces require drug testing, but no drug testing to obtaining welfare checks.

On America’s way to communistic welfare, it has long since surpassed such bastions of capitalism as China:

The welfare system in communist China is far more strict. Those people have to actually work to be able to eat.
