I know a female that makes $14K-$15k, has 2 Children, and
gets 100% of her Federal and State Taxes Back, PLUS
Federal tax she received additional to what she paid in
Federal she got $5,300
Child tax Credit $2,000
State she got $800 above everything she paid in.
YES, I know this is Tax payer money, but She IS making more than $10-12 an HOUR.
Plus the Money Made is TAX Free all year.
She also gets an Energy Credit Cash payment between $400-$1,200 a year depending on how high her bill is. (Once a year payment)
She also gets $400-$650 a Month food stamps (again depending on how many hours she worked.)
She goes to the Free Food Places, and Churches to get her food, and sells her Food Stamps for Cash.
She also gets $400 a month Child support.
She also lives with her Boy Friend who has a Construction job, so he normally brings home a Nice pay check also.
So, to Bryan G, Quit Crying the people who seek things out, can Work the System Very Well.

When I got out of the military I wasn't qualified to do anything really. When I look back it... It was insane. My average day was a early morning newspaper route, 6am to 3pm at a cafe, 4pm till 8pm at a fast food restaurant, and then 9pm till 1am at Target stocking shelves. It was fucking brutal - I had little time for sleep no less a social life.
And when I finally found that job that took me out of that rut I took it - although I still worked the fast food restaurant for a long time after.
And eventually that "good job" wasn't enough and I wanted more, I wanted a carreer... So I put myself through college.
This is what minimum wage is for - to "barely" keep you on your feet until you can do better.
