"Creating Dependency: Better to be on Welfare than to Work "- CraigHuey.com

"Here is what is happening:
California pays a reported $35, 287 a year per person in
welfare. Considering taxes you have to be offered $37,160
just to break even working versus taking a government
check. In Idaho, it is $11,150.
For people in 80% of states, it's in their self interest to
move to California. I know some that just moved here
from Arizona for that reason.
A company would have to offer someone $17.87 an hour
to be equal to the free wages of welfare. 13 states'
welfare pays more than $15.00 an hour."
