@Al-714,
Here's some numbers for those on welfare. Since it's based on national welfare, the amount can be sufficient in some areas, but not others.
Also, it's 'tax free,' so that's not too bad.
Quote: However, observed Tanner, last year the nearly $1 trillion spent on welfare amounted “to $20,610 for every poor person in America, or $61,830 per poor family of three.” With that kind of spending, no one should still be poor.
