Yes but... what is the cumulative value to a baby momma in pick a state, say floriduh, illinois, new york or soewhere.
Cato institute says about $25,000 a year equivalent job but for what a family or a baby momma with two kids, three, none? Let’s see if we can accurately quantify it. I’ve had hands tell me they could not afford to take a farm or ranch job for $15 per hour in one of the states Cato says is not very high on the welfare chain.
As for school, if you are receiving a benefit greater than the tax you pay then you are a welfare recipient... that counts.
Sounds like you could argue that the people who earn $25k a year working are getting at least:
$0 They pay NO tax whatsoever so whatever public benefits they get that aren’t paid for by sales taxes are SUBSIDIZED by taxpayers.
$5036 EITC
$9.8K x 2 = 19.6K edumacashun
$24,636 per year in direct or imputed income from the public as a MINIMUM.
“free” medical care, they can get what I would have to pay for. My insurance is at least $12,000 per year so now we have a total of $36,636 from the public in direct or imputed benefits.
There's an Email I got one time that compared Jose The Illegal to Joe Legal and all the benefits and aid the illegal got and how hard the legal tax payer had to work, just to get what Jose got.
Its really aggravating
