You said it- over here she would have been able to pocket that 30,000 pounds in a few years, not the sixteen it took over in England.

Anybody remember what the equivalent salary is for a person on welfare?

[Final Authority]

The equivalent salary for a fully involved welfare recipient (Democrats dream) is something on the order of $45K per year (equivalent gross before taxes) in a state like Massachusetts, NH is much lower and that is why I live in NH.

Start with state welfare, skin out more kids get more money, Then you have supplemental payments such as clothing allowances, again more kids more money. You get free job training, 'course only if your stupid to even consider working. Section VIII housing, I want section VIII yacht subsidies. Then you get WIC, food stamps, head start, Medicare, state supplemental health payments, and for the final insult to all of us who are organized, prosperous, disciplined, hard working, industrious, they hire lawyers to get them SSI checks (crazy checks) and lawyers take a fee. Listen carefully on local radio and hear the advertisements.

To top it all off, the recipients want even more to vote Democrat, guess what, they just may.

During the height of the "people (children)are gonna starve" hysteria I saw a welfare mama interviewd, standing in front of her new car saying she would have to make $15 an hour before she could get off welfare. I was making about $10 and driving a 10 year old pickup at the time. Bitch almost cost me a TV screen.
