...there are people with EBT card who actually are working real jobs trying to pay the bills and make ends meet. 18% do in my state - other states are higher - heck, all but one is higher.
MA state welfare equivilent is over 40hrwk/$24/per hr - ugh

Good for you! I hope things are looking up for you. Things can be rough in this obama economy.

<<>> You're onto something here. Contrary to conservative economists, liberals claim that raising the minimum wage boosts employment. It sounds contradictory to free market principles, but in fact a higher minimum will tempt some people off the welfare rolls. But that's backwards. There shouldn't be so many people on the dole in the first place.
