Economy

A very sad story!
You have 2 families... "Joe Legal" and "Joe Illegal".
Both families have 2 parents, 2 children and live in California .
"Joe Legal" works in construction, has a Social Security Number, and makes
$25.00 per hour with payroll taxes deducted.
"Joe Illegal" also works in construction, has NO Social Security Number, and
gets paid $15.00 cash "under the table".
Joe Legal..$25..00 per hour x 40 hours =$1000.00 per week =$52,000 per year.
Now take 30% away for state and federal tax. Joe Legal now has $31,206.00
Joe Illegal...$15.00 per hour x 40 hours =$600.00 per week =$31,200.00 per year.
Joe Illegal pays no taxes. Jose Illegal now has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays for Medical and Dental Insurance with limited coverage ..
$1000.00 per month =$12,000.00 per year. Joe Legal now has $19,231.00.
Joe Illegal has full Medical and Dental coverage through the state and
local clinics at a cost of $0.00 per year. Joe Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal makes too much money to be eligible for Food Stamps or Welfare
so he pays for food...$1,000.00 per month =$12,000..00 per year. Joe Legal
now has $7,231.00.
Joe Illegal has no documented income and is eligible for Food Stamps and Welfare.
Joe Illegal still has $31,200.00.
Joe Legal pays rent of $1,000.00 per month =$12,000.00 per year.

pays his rent of $500.00 per month =$6,000.00 per year.

Joe Legal now works overtime on Saturdays and gets a part time job after
work to make ends meet.
