Just for the record, I'll go with much lower monthly to see what we are talking about,
$300x52=$15600
12000x65%=$7800
Total=$23400
I assure you there are more free stuff, like drug coverage etc. Even without that we are talking about $11.25 an hour. Therefor, unemployment check>minimum wage. Conclusion: minimum wage jobs go unfilled. Millions of people make this calculation every day. The other dirty little secret is that they work on the side too. You can extend 99 weeks to 199 and people would run that out too.
