Why work in manufacturing when you can make just as much on welfare?

According to the article: “A manufacturing worker makes an average of $23.97 on hour as of October 2012. Manufacturing jobs are also more likely to come with good benefits than jobs in other industries, the Brookings Institute has reported.”
Also in the article: “... it would pay a $54,000 starting salary to a high-school graduate who could competently repair and maintain machinery.”
Are you telling me that someone on Welfare gets something equivalent to $24/hour or $54,000 a year plus benefits?

Exactly. Socialism kills the motivation and the desire to work and innovate. Why work when your neighbor who just sits on his front porch all day makes the same money as you do?
BS
Being a productive member of society (at ANY level) is NOT as glamourous the jobs requiring a ‘Kumbaya degree’!!
