Hmmm not so much as you might think, medicaid, and medicare are a big chunk of it though. Mostly the largest costs come from taking care of the elderly. Is the medicaid they paid into all their life considered "welfare" by you?
No one owes you a business. If you can't pay workers a fair wage for the work involved, then you don't deserve a business. If you undermine the work and worker for personal gain, you are a failure.
And no one owes you a dam job. I've been self employed for 15 dam years, and who do you think you are, to be in a better position to determine what I can pay an employee, and what they should work for, than THEY ARE?
Thats some dam ego boost you got there.. determining the value of hundreds of millions of peoples labor, all over the country.

LOL....if you work for them then you have agreed to the wage offered they are paying a fair wage.
i'd HATE to have government determine I'm worth $x an hour, and not myself.. Some of these people seem proud of it.
The people that advocate for higher wages for the poor are actually doing quite well. They advocate for others because they have a conscience. Poor people do not know enough as to ask for a 15.00 minimum wage. The people that advocate for these wages are generally well off.
But, don't get me wrong--------I can see why this is an issue for middle class republicans.

The people that advocate for these wages are usually
A) Government people trying to buy votes, at someone elses expenses
B) Unions, trying to increase their own salaries, by boosting the cost of living and thus justifying a raise
C) People who dont give a crap about pushing jobs overseas
D) People refusing to go get an education, and destined to flip burgers for a living, but want more money.
There is no "conscience", involved, its GREED..
