Then I don’t see how it’s possible you think no one would choose welfare over work. It’s so common a phenomenon that I feel silly having to explain it. Think of the other end, where people stop working just before their marginal rates go up, so as to avoid jumping brackets. Welfare works the same way, only as a mirror image.
People would break their legs not to have to work, were malingering not so easy under disability and workers’ compensation law, and ever the easier under soon to be Obamacare.
Well, as I wrote, it may be that in the abstract there are more benefits on welfare, given what I see my friend going through, I’d prefer to earn “less” and be able to stop for a bowl of soup on a cold day and be able to buy toilet paper and toothpaste versus trading basic everyday necessities for medical care I might never need or some other alleged benfit.
