From zerohedge.com...Sit on your ass and thrive....<br /><br />From zerohedge.com<br /><br /><br />In the recent past we noted the somewhat startling reality that "the single mom is better off earning gross income of $29,000 with $57,327 in net income & benefits than to earn gross income of $69,000 with net income and benefits of $57,045." While mathematics is our tool - as opposed to the mathemagics of some of the more politically biased media who did not like our message - the painful reality in America is that: for increasingly more Americans it is now more lucrative - in the form of actual disposable income - to sit, do nothing, and collect various welfare entitlements, than to work. This is such an important topic that we felt it necessary to warrant a second look. The graphic below quite clearly, and very painfully, confirms that there is an earnings vacuum of around $40k in which US workers are perfectly ambivalent toward inputting more effort since it does not result in any additional incremental disposable income. With the ongoing 'fiscal cliff' battles over taxes and entitlements, this is a problematic finding, since - as a result - it is the US government that will have to keep funding indirectly this lost productivity and worker output (via wealth redistribution).Nine-Elhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633505847718896294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-60529394306964330482012-12-02T11:59:08.270-05:002012-12-02T11:59:08.270-05:00It's always comforting when HTTT contributes a...It's always comforting when HTTT contributes a non sequitur to the discussion.<br /><br />It's as reliable an occurrence as a Lindsay Lohan DUI arrest, a bad movie from Adam Sandler (or Jennifer Aniston, if you like) or a distortion from the right wing media.<br /><br />I'm just surprised he didn't (wrongly) accuse me (yet again) of proclaiming all those Duke LaCross players of rape all those years ago.Dayvoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06971560627535402858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8213262.post-35581705605914977402012-12-02T11:11:19.253-05:002012-12-02T11:11:19.253-05:00Funny how Dayvoe just applied his Left Wing filter...Funny how Dayvoe just applied his Left Wing filter<br /><i>it's about compromising on any the stuff the Dems won on in November.</i><br />...<br /><i><br />Democrats don`t need to compromise.
