There is no incentive to work whatsoever when welfare pays more than a job. This makes no sense but we know it is reality. This will only encourage people to stay on welfare rather than take that low paying first job. As training and work experience grows, salaries increase and keep moving up in most cases. Welfare will always be a mere existence with no chance of rising above poverty. It becomes a way of life and then people are trapped forever. It's such a state state of affairs for our country.
