Way higher than that sorry to say!
How do you get a welfare recipient back to work?
Put his SNAP card under his work boots.
That's why I see people with 2 arms and legs walk in and out of 1 FISH 2 FISH With a HUGE SMILE on there face with a BOX of Steamed Crab.
Don't forget the illegal immigrants with anchor babies.
Don't forget the white trash herion/pill heads. More white people on benefits than all the minorities added together.
