So what exactly is your point? The family has to do things to get things. First off, they're entitled to unemployment benefits. When those run out, if they still haven't found a job, there's always freelance work for people with decent skillsets.

My aunt found herself in the same position not too long ago. She and her husband started up something called the "CEO College," training CEOs to deal with the public relations aspects of their jobs. They're now doing quite well, and they're completely self-sufficient.

So the question that I have for you is...where are you getting your statistcs and/or proof that those who earn minimum wage are receiving some form of assistance?

100% of people who work for minimum wage are eligible for benefits. Whether or not they take advantage is at their sole discretion.

There's a possibility that I'm right...there's a possibility that you are right....we can not speak for the majority EITHER WAY because more than likely we DO NOT have the facts.

100%.
