This is a great chart that brings up so many problems with the welfare state. No matter how generous the welfare is, there is always a dividing line between who get's it and who pays it.

Last week MSNBC did a special on illegal immigration/amnesty and this problem was not mentioned at all. They only interviewed one amnesty desenter and he pointed out that once legalized most illegals will join the unemployed because of labor laws. Mostly they discussed how unfair the system is and how America has always resisted 'immigrants' out of fear. What was never asked was :
1) How to keep legalized illegals off the dole,
2) How to make sure once legalized they wont vote for more welfare.

Wow, that's more than a little upsetting. I have suspected this for a some time, but I had no idea it (subsidized minimum wage) would be more than someone making $60K. I would have guess half that.

Thanks for posting. This will come in useful.
