exactly. i know for a fact that most people who are actually "living" on welfare are getting more than $1k/mo in bennies. my mom on disability gets around 1500, my dad on disability gets around 1700, and my sister on disability gets probably close to 2000 once you factor in all the individual freebies. that's not including all the free healthcare they get. right or wrong the numbers just don't add up. you won't be able to continue to provide the level of gibs they're getting without increasing taxes
