On December 8, 2012, Gary DeMar writes on Political Cast:
There’s a new report out by the Senate Budget Committee that calculates that “the amount of money spent on welfare programs equals, when converted to cash payments, about ‘$168 per day for every household in poverty.’”
Here’s the math: $168 per day x 365 days = $61, 320.
If someone gave you $61,320 per year with no federal, state, or Social Security taxes taken out, could your family live on that amount? Most likely nearly every family in America could if they chose a modest lifestyle. I know my family could, especially if I didn’t have to pay taxes on any of it.
