Every single Canadian should take 2 mins to read this.. Why do we continue to allow this to happen..

WORKING JOE vs. WELFARE JOE


You have two families: "*WORKING JOE* " vs "*WELFARE JOE* ". Both families have two parents, two children, and lives in Canada.

WORKING Joe works in construction, has a Social Insurance Number and makes $25.00 per hour with taxes deducted.

Welfare Joe does not work, has a Social Insurance Number, and gets paid $15.00 per hour "without leaving the house".

Ready? Now pay attention...

Working Joe : $25.00 per hour x 40 hours = $1000.00 per week, or $52,000.00 per year. Now take 30% away for provincial and federal taxes. Working Joe now has $31,231.00 net..

Welfare Joe : $15.00 per hour x 40 hours = $600.00 per week, or $31,200..00 per year. Welfare Joe pays no taxes. Welfare Joe now has $31,200.00 net.

Working Joe pays medical and dental insurance with limited coverage for his family at $600.00 per month, or $7,200.00 per year. Working Joe now has $24,031.00 net.

Welfare Joe has full medical and dental coverage through the Provincial and local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Welfare Joe still has $31,200.00 net.

Working Joe makes too much money and is not eligible for welfare. Working Joe pays $500.00 per month for food, or $6,000.00 per year. Working Joe now has $18,031 net.

Welfare Joe has no documented income and is eligible for welfare. Welfare Joe still has $31,200.00 net.

Working Joe pays rent of $1,200..00 per month, or $14,400.00 per year. Working Joe now has $9,631.00 net.

Welfare Joe receives a $500.00 per month federal rent subsidy. Welfare Joe pays out that $500.00 per month, or $6,000.00 per year. Welfare Joe still has $31,200.00 net.

Working Joe pays $200.00 per month, or $2,400.00 for auto insurance.. Working Joe now has $7,231..00 net.

Welfare Joe says, *"We don't need no stinkin' insurance!"* and still has $31,200.00 net.

Working Joe has to make his $7,231.00 stretch to pay utilities, gasoline, etc.

Welfare Joe has to make his $31,200.00 stretch to pay utilities, buy gas, prepaid cell phone card, (alcohol/cigarettes) and play at the Casino.

Working Joe now works overtime on Saturdays or gets a part time job after work.

Welfare Joe has nights and weekends off to enjoy with his family & friends.

Working Joe and Welfare Joe's children attend the same school. Working Joe pays for his children's lunches while Welfare Joe's children get a government sponsored lunch. Working Joe's children go home after school, while Welfare Joe's children have an after school ESL program provided free.

Working Joe and Welfare Joe both enjoy the same police and fire services, but working Joe paid for them with his taxes and Welfare Joe did not.

Do you get it, now?

If you support any politician who supports our welfare system, you are part of the problem!


It's way PAST time to take a stand for Canada and Canadians!!

What are you waiting for? Pass it on

Welfare in Ontario pays about 6 hun and change a month
;)
that's about 7 grand a year
there's your error

If they get dental as adults, its a filling or yank the tooth, no cosmetics.
They get the same mercury laden, 10 percent effective, flu vaccine truck drivers get.

In this county, because Rooming house landlords kept stealing it, they no longer give first and last out to the homeless.

That is for a single adult. Goes up significantly with family.
I've seen a variant on this before and I think it is US numbers but the idea is the same.

Traffic cops are a revenue stream for spendthrift governments.

Vancouver and the lower mainland is filled with people in the building trades who pay no tax at all. It is not uncommon for a carpenter to come out from the east coast - work 7 days a week for as many months as he can, and go back home with all the money. The builders are crooks. The workers are crooks. The City is a crook.

Bullshit.

Where do you find these emails? I'm surprised someone like you would still be falling for it. That ****ing email has been around since the internet started and someone in the USA wanted to show their hatred for Blacks and Illegals.

Whoever is still sending you these emails must not think you are very bright. and putting in the Kadr payment doesn't make it a Canadian story......

Alberta's new benefits for low-income parents average $1,688 per family - Calgary - CBC News

That was back in Nov 10, 2015, and I know for a fact that has grown to almost $2,500 because I know a fella here who has 3 kids, his wife and himself.

...and I was pissed when he told me.

It would be tough for a family of five to live on that in a big Canadian city. On the other hand, if either of them is fit to earn, they should be rather than taking someone else's hard earned money.

How's that.. they pay no taxes and get subsidized housing, paying a fraction of what a "Working Canadian" would pay. Free Health Care, Dental, Perceptions..

Don't forget the Canada Child Benefits which are quite generous and even at a higher income (depending on how many kids you have but most people have 2) at $80,000/year they still get CCB benefits of a couple of hundred $$ a month.


Ah well, we can afford it right? As we can afford everything that the Liberals can stick to us....sigh
