The Cato Institute released an updated 2014 study (original study in 1955) showing that welfare benefits pay more than a minimum wage job in 33 states and the District of Columbia.

Even worse, welfare pays more than $15 per hour in 13 states.

Hawaii is the biggest offender, where welfare recipients earn $29.13 per hour, or a $60,590 yearly salary, all for doing nothing.

Here is the list of the states where the pre-tax equivalent "salary" that welfare recipients receive is higher than having a job:

1. Hawaii : $60,590
2. District of Columbia :$50,820
3. Massachusetts : $50,540
4. Connecticut : $44,370
5. New York : $43,700
6. New Jersey : $43,450
7. Rhode Island : $43,330
8. Vermont : $42,350
9. New Hampshire : $39,750
10. Maryland : $38,160
11. California : $37,160
12. Oregon : $34,300
13. Wyoming : $32,620
14. Nevada : $29,820
15. Minnesota : $29,350
16. Delaware : $29,220
17. Washington : $28,840
18. North Dakota : $28,830
19. Pennsylvania : $28,670
20. New Mexico : $27,900
21. Montana : $26,930
22. South Dakota : $26,610
23. Kansas : $26,490
24. Michigan : $26,430
25. Alaska : $26,400
26. Ohio : $26,200
27. North Carolina : $25,760
28. West Virginia : $24,900
29. Alabama : $23,310
30. Indiana : $22,900
31. Missouri : $22,800
32. Oklahoma : $22,480
33. Louisiana : $22,250
34. South Carolina : $21,91

    As a point of reference the average Middle Class annual income today is $50,000, down from $54,000 at the beginning of the Great Recession.
    Hawaii , DC , and Massachusetts pay more in welfare than the average working folks earn there.Is it any wonder that they stay home rather than look for a job.

    Note that California is $18.50 an hour.
    Are we Nuts or what? How do we un-do this type of stupidity ... This is crazy!

    Salary of retired United States Presidents $180,000 FOR LIFE.
    Salary of House/Senate....$174,000 FOR LIFE.This is beyond stupid !!!!!!!
    Salary of Speaker of the House ...$223,500 FOR LIFE! This is really stupid.

    Salary of Majority/Minority Leader $193,400 FOR LIFE!
    Ditto last line.

    Average Salary of a teacher ... $40,065.
    Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN .. $38,000.
    Think about this !!!!!

    Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE.
    She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year, PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader, the fact that she has become rich while in office notwithstanding.
    That's $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to us .... the taxpayers.
    She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year!
    I think we found where the cuts should be made!

I have a few .22cb rounds that are half the size of a .22 short. I think they quit making them because the cb l.r. shells feed better than the short ones that are1/2 the size of the .22 short shells. Same thing as the l.r. ones you buy today, no gun powder.

Looks great I could easily mess that up. 

Good for you!Always nice to find a new toy that is in good condition.

                    (A)  The number of physicians in the U.S. is 700,000.

                    (B)  Accidental deaths caused by Physicians   per year are   120,000.

                    (C)  Accidental deaths per physician   is   0.171 

                    Statistics courtesy of  U.S. Dept. of   Health and Human Services.


                        Now think about this:

                        Guns

                        (A)  The number of gun owners in the U.S.   is   80,000,000.

                        (Yes, that's 80 million)

                        (B)  The number of accidental gun deaths   per year, all age groups,   is   1,500.

                        (C)  The number of accidental deaths   per gun owner   is   .0000188 

                        Statistics courtesy of FBI

                                                    >>>>>>>>>>>>> 


                        So,   statistically, doctors are approximately   9,000 times more dangerous than gun owners.

                        Remember, 'Guns don't kill people, doctors do.'

                        FACT:  NOT EVERYONE HAS A GUN,   BUT   Almost everyone has at least one doctor.

                        This means you are over 9,000 times more likely to be killed by a doctor as by a gun owner!!!

                        Please alert your friends   to this   alarming threat. 

                        We must ban doctors   before this gets completely out of hand!!!!
                        Out of concern for the public at large   , We withheld the statistics on   lawyers   for fear the shock would cause   people to panic and seek medical attention!
                         

Speaking of Colt, last week I got a Colt detective Special made in 1969, never fired, with original box,  2nd generation, which is still brand new. I put it with the one I already had to keep it company. It was my Father in Laws revolver who was a retired State Trooper and passed away in 1984. I also got the box that his S&W masterpiece 38 came in, but no gun, he had to turn it in when he retired.

Every time I see a picture of Uncle Lee's collection that he had to get rid of, I feel like crying!

I had a golden rod in my safe plus four rechargeable dehumidifiers and a canister that you recharge in the oven. The golden rod was barley warm to the touch, and the other stuff was always in need of recharging, sooooo I cut the wire to the golden rod and replaced it with a 60 watt light bulb.  Seems to work fine, and I don't worry about rust. I keep it at about 35-- 40% according to my humidly gauge.
Below is a scale of Humidity levels:
 
Maximum recommended RH Revels

Rust  resistance-----40%   
Gunpowder warning-------35%*:-


Mildew resistance------60%*:
Wood damage--------50%*(:

Leather damage------45%*

Uncle Lee,
I read that article inGuns and Ammo a couple of weeks ago. I had been going back and forth on some of the 9/mm single stack pistols, looking at the stats and difference on each one, so this comparison in the magazine really help! I was  interested in the shield or the Glock, but now I have to consider the Taurus in the mix! Ive read good things on the Glock [sorry Glock haters] but not too much on the Taurus.
Out of the 10, which one do you prefer? 

Quote from: coppertop on June-19-15 13:06

Quote from: redhawk4 on June-19-15 12:06I am not personally aware of any other firearms manufacturers who  specify such a regimen.

Nor do I and when I pointed that out in a discussion it was told Kahr was the only manufacturer brave enough to admit it. I bet if Kahr took just a little longer with production, their reputation would be so much better.

I used to have the Ruger Bearcat years ago, but sold it and replaced it with the Colt peacemaker with both  cylinders.

            I don't trip over things, I do random gravity checks.

            I don't need anger management.  I need people to stop ticking me off.

            Old age is coming at a really bad time.

            When I was a child I thought Nap Time was a punishment ... now, as a grown up, it just feels like a small vacation.

            The biggest lie I tell myself is ... "I don't need to write that down, I'll remember it."

            Lord grant me the strength to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change things I can and the friends to post my bail when I finally snap.

            I don't have gray hair.  I have "wisdom highlights". 

            My people skills are just fine.  It's my tolerance to idiots that needs work.

            Teach your daughter how to shoot, because a restraining order is just a piece of paper.

            The kids text me "plz" which is shorter than please.  I text back "no" which is shorter than "yes".

            I'm going to retire and live off of my savings.  Not sure what I'll do that second week.

            When did it change from "We the people" to "screw the people"?

            Even duct tape can't fix stupid ... but it can muffle the sound.

            Why do I have to press one for English when you're just gonna transfer me to someone I can't understand anyway?

            Of course I talk to myself; sometimes I need expert advice.

            At my age "Getting lucky" means walking into a room and remembering what I actually came in there for.

That's good!

Message From Her Majesty



As you know, my dear people, the last year for me has been an annus horribilus.  The Royal House of Clinton has been tormented by questions about our handling of finances & subjected to tiresome questions about the tragic events in Benghazi - in the furthest regions of our empire. And, sadly, also questions about my Royal e-mails.

Nevertheless, I will not be daunted in my desire & commitment to serve you the people. For the next seventeen months I will be traveling among you as one of you, to listen to your deepest longings & needs. I will be with you in your Wal-Mart and beside you in your Burger Kings. I will drive with you down the busy interstate highways of our land sharing your poverty & needs with you.

How well I remember the days when the Duke of Arkansas & I were impoverished. After we were expelled from our Washington Palace we hardly had two mansions to rub together. We were so poor we had to remove thousands of dollars of china, flatware, carpets & gifts from the Washington Palace just to survive. Now, happily, benefactors from around our empire have given just enough for us to scrape by.

During those difficult times we had to cut back when our daughter was married. We only had three million dollars to spend on her wedding & I remember our hopes as she moved into her $10 million Manhattan apartment that one day she would be able to move on from that humble abode to something more fitting.

So as I travel across our land to meet you all, I will be listening & sharing with you. Then when the time for the royal election comes I know you will crown me as your rightful monarch so that we can all live happily ever after.

Queen Hilarity Rodham Clinton


PUKE!!!

Four or five years ago  [after listing to all the negative talk about thunderbolt ammo] I gave a couple of bricks of them away to family  and friends. I had NEVER  had any problems with them, but like a dumb ass, I followed the crowd. Now I wish I still had them! There selling for two or three times as much as what I paid for them , AND I GAVE THEM AWAY.   I value you guys opinion, but on this one I made a mistake.

     

    Cowboy Solution (This is Good)

            I really like the gasoline part at the end!!!
            I have lived, loved, lost and loved again. Life is not easy,..... but it is what it is. 
             
            Cowboy rules for: Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma , Colorado, New Mexico, Wyoming, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Nebraska, Idaho, and the rest of the Wild West are as follows:

            1. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot.

            2. Turn your cap right, your head ain't crooked.

            3. Let's get this straight: it's called a 'gravel road.' I drive a pickup truck because I want to. No matter how slow you drive, you're gonna get dust on your Lexus. Drive it or get out of the way.

            4. They are cattle. That's why they smell like cattle. They smell like money to us. Get over it. Don't like it? I-10 & I-40 go east and west, I-17 & I-15 goes north and south. Pick one and go.

            5. So you have a $60,000 car. We're impressed. We have $250,000 Combines that are driven only 3 weeks a year.

            6. Every person in the Wild West waves. It's called being friendly. Try to understand the concept.

            7. If that cell phone rings while a bunch of geese/pheasants/ducks/doves are comin' in during a hunt, we WILL shoot it outta your hand. You better hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time.

            8. Yeah. We eat trout, salmon, deer and elk. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the corner bait shop.

            9. The 'Opener' refers to the first day of deer season. It's a religious holiday held the closest Saturday to the first of November.

            10.. We open doors for women. That's applied to all women, regardless of age..

            11. No, there's no 'vegetarian special' on the menu. Order steak, or you can order the Chef's Salad and pick off the 2 pounds of ham and turkey.

            12. When we fill out a table, there are three main dishes: meats, vegetables, and breads. We use three spices: salt, pepper, and ketchup! Oh, yeah ... We don't care what you folks in Cincinnati call that stuff you eat... IT AIN'T REAL CHILI!!

            13. You bring 'Coke' into my house, it better be brown, wet and served over ice. You bring 'Mary Jane' into my house, she better be cute, know how to shoot, drive a truck, and have long hair.

            14. College and High School Football is as important here as the Giants, the Yankees, the Mets, the Lakers and the Knicks, and a dang site more fun to watch.

            15. Yeah, we have golf courses. But don't hit the water hazards - it spooks the fish.

            16. Turn down that blasted car stereo! That thumpity-thump ain't music, anyway. We don't want to hear it anymore than we want to see your boxers! Refer back to #1!

            A true Westerner will send this to at least 10 others and a few new friends that probably won't get it, but we're friendly so we share in hopes you can begin to understand what a real life is all about!!!
            And there is more.............
            The COWBOY Solution to save Gasoline.

            OBAMA wants us to cut the amount of gasoline we use.....

            The best way to stop using so much gasoline is to deport 15 million illegal immigrants!

            That would be 15 million less people using our gas.
            The price of gas would come down.....
            Bring our troops home from Afghanistan to guard the borders....

            When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the Border, hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo and ship him to Afghanistan ....

            Tell him if he wants to come to AMERICA then he must serve a tour in OUR military....

            Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it......

            After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country.....
            He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal resident......
            This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Afghanistan and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. .......

            If they refuse to serve, ship them to Afghanistan anyway, without the canteen, rifle or ammo.

            Problem solved.....

Our toilet water is VERY COLD!

                     Remember what Jesus said: 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right' (Matthew 25:33).

                     
                    Jesus also told Peter that if he wanted to catch fish do it from the right side of the boat.   They did and filled the boat with fish.

                     
                    John 21:6 (NIV) ... He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish."

                     

                     
                    Origin of Left & Right...
                    I have often wondered why it is that Conservatives are called the right"  and Liberals are called the "left".

                     
                    By chance I stumbled upon this verse in the Bible:   Ecclesiastes 10:2 (NIV) - "The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left."
                    Thus sayeth the Lord.   Amen.

                     
                    It surely can't get any simpler than that.

                     
                    Spelling Lesson :
                    The last four letters in American..........  I Can
                    The last four letters in Republican........ I Can
                    The last four letters in  Democrats......... Rats

                     
                    End of lesson !  .....Test to follow on November 6, 2016 .

                     
                    Remember,  November 2016 is to be set aside as rodent removal month.

                     
                    Please share this Bible Lesson with all your  friends and email buddies to help achieve that goal

 I was in the Ace hardware store in North Webster, and they had been selling .22lr ammo for $10.50 for a box of 50.
I don't think they'll let me back in the store again. 

How about your butt, is it ok? LOL

The Last Kiss

Back on January 9th, a group of Illinois bikers were riding west on I-74 when they saw a girl about to jump off the Murray Baker Bridge.



George, their leader, a burly man of 53, gets off his Harley, walks through a group of gawkers, past the State Trooper who was trying to talk her down off the railing, and says,


"Hey Baby.....whatcha doin' up there on that railin'?"


She says tearfully, "I'm going to commit suicide!!"



While he didn't want to appear 'sensitive', George also didn't want to miss this 'be-a-legend' opportunity either so he asked..."Well, before you jump, Honey-Babe... Why don't you give ole George here your best last kiss?"


So, with no hesitation, she leaned back over the railing and gave old Georege a long, deep, lingering kiss followed by another even better one.


When they breathlessly finished, George gets a big thumbs-up approval from his biker-buddies, the onlookers, and even the State Trooper, and says,


"Wow! That was the best kiss I have ever had, Honey! That's a real talent you're wasting, Sugar Shorts. You could be famous if you rode with me. Why the hell are you committing suicide?"


"My parents don't like me dressing up like a girl."


It's still unclear whether she jumped or was pushed.

I read a short clip in a magazine the other day about Hillary Clinton running for president. Would that be a correct way to word it?  LOL

Carnation Milk is the best in the land,
It comes to the table in a little red can,
No teats to pull, no hay to pitch,
Just poke a hole in the  ---- 

    Three men - a Canadian farmer,    a Muslim fanatic
    and a White Trash Biker are all walking together one day.
    They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

     

    'I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total', says the Genie.

     

    The Canadian says, 'I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada.'

     

    POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.

     

    The Muslim was amazed, so he said, 'I want a wall around Afghanistan, Palestine, Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come into our precious land.'

     

    POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.

     

    The Biker says, 'I am very curious.
    Please tell me more about this wall.'

    The Genie explains, 'Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 500 feet thick and completely surrounds the countries.  Nothing can get in or out: it's virtually impenetrable.'

     

    The Biker sits down on his Harley,
    cracks a beer, lights a cigar, smiles and says,

       'Fill it with water.'



     

VERY GOOD ADVICE!! I did it years ago, and I thank God I did! I am very blessed, worked for it, and I  depend on no one but myself. If we had not done it, I,d be working part time at Wall-mart LOL! NOT  THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH WORKING PART TIME AT WALL-MART.   

Sopsax, Again , thanks for your knowledge and opinion on striker fire pistols. I've heard both sides of the pros and cons about these pistols, but find your knowledge on them helpful and interesting.

 Sopax,

Thanks for your opinion on the S&W M&P I had considered that pistol besides the Glock 42, but then I heard about the Glock 43. Maybe the M&P would be a better choice. I have a S&W 5906, but it's too big to carry.

YES!
