Entitlement America: Sad but True

You can do as well working one week a month at minimum wage as you can working $60,000-a-year, full-time, high-stress job.  This according to Wyatt Emmerich of The Cleveland Current.  The following table illustrates that $16,000 in today's America is worth more than $60,000.



Now, tell me where the incentive to work in this country is?  Emmerich sums it up as follows: "Not surprisingly, it is not only the richest and thieves (Wall Street) that prosper, but also the penny scammers at the very bottom of the economic ladder that rip off the middle class each and every day, courtesy of the world's most generous entitlement system."  Have you had enough, yet?
