Why Are So Many On Welfare

[Aractus]

Nice spin you put on the problem Min. The USA is a country with a very low minimum wage, and very high unemployment. Due to the size of the USA, by necessity in order to remain a single State and not split up into smaller countries, it has very low federal taxes and high state taxes. This has allowed your Federal government to rack up an enormous debt that makes Greece look like their federal economy's totally in the black. In the USA minimum wages are far more a local state issue than a federal issue since it impacts upon the state's economies. Thus for meaningful changes it is up to the states and not the State in this instance.
