TAKE A STAND

Work for $24,000 or Stay Unemployed and Make $27,900? Most everyone knows someone who is getting government assistance who could work, but they don’t want to because they would lose the ‘free’ money they are getting from the government. A recent study by the Cato Institute and commentary by Rob Nikolewski of the New Mexico Watchdog put things in perspective. Read the article HERE.
