Actually the entire tab is paid by the employers. Recipients must
bay taxes on those benefits.

Sorry to disappoint you, but, for your situation, welfare IS a
job. You can expect the county to put you to work, at the
minimum wage rate. Things like cleaning rubbish in public parks,
or cleaning buses and trains.

Why not have an accident that causes a major disability? That way
you'll collect a bigger check and won't have the automatic "stigma" of
welfare. Or you could just get one of those cardboard signs that says
"homeless/hungry" and stake your claim on a busy high-end neighborhood
intersection. From what I've seen in various news stories some of
those guys take in hundreds a day. Most goes into their arm of
course.
