[QUOTE="Ricochet1a, post: 1015242, member: 22880"] Well there you have it. Someone working Fred's plantation on a part-time basis is 30% better off than collecting welfare, eating on foodstamps and on Medicaid. I wonder though, how about one of Fred's stepchildren working full-time with a family making $500 a week - how far above poverty is that? $25,000/yr with no benefits for say a family of 3??? What's the poverty line for them? Does Medicare kick in? Who pays for that? Is there really such a thing as low cost labor with no one else paying for it? (with the taxes I'm paying now, I'm sure as hell paying for it). Or does Fred do what is so common place nowadays and do some "cost shifting" to someone else willing to take up the slack? [/QUOTE]
