I think the real question should be, why does someone with a job still need government money?

I like this question. Since you're an employer, can you help me out with some hard numbers? How much do you pay a certain employee? What is their take home pay after taxes/deductions/whatever? I want to try to put an actual number to it. $350/week take home? More/less?
How much is an apartment in your area? Let's do the math and see if we think they should be able to live without government money or not. I'm not trying to bait you, I really want to run the numbers and see.
