she would need a job that paid over $46,000 to have the equivalent take-home income.
plus lets say she found a job for 60,000
that’s a difference of 12,000
assuming 2000 work hours per year for full time
that only $6 per hour
plus insurance..
here in IL if you are on low income state insurance everything is free with no deductible
A friend of mine had to go to the ER in an ambulance. Both the ride and visit were free. If I did that I would have to pay at least a grand out of pocket with the deductibles and co pays
edit to post 41
thought it said 48,000 instead of 46,000 ( eye sight going)
but still only $7 an hour difference
That’s exactly why they need to work for their benefits. At least the taxpayer gets clean toilets in return.
Proving once again, the poor are not so poor. It is the working low and middle class who get raped and are poor.
For the poor everything they need is free or essentially so. Try to get money from them, tell me how that comes out. They have none.
You on the other hand have something to take and will eventually pay. Somehow when you make a dollar over the threshold you are magically able to pay. See the “poor” with Silver obamacare plans you and I just can’t afford. One dollar over, one penny over the threshold and you can suddenly afford to pay your own way.
The system is not broken. The system is wrong.
