Wait Congressman Jim McGovern tells us everyday income and equality are at the heart of food insecurities, let us expose the reality of Income and equality in District 2 of Massachusetts.
A family of four living in Worcester earning $39,000 a year is clearly below the poverty line Right?
Let’s see if Jim McGovern is correct
Family of Four earning $39,000 a year but fully subsidized by the government
Income $ 39,000
Childcare for 2 children $ 33,912
Snap Benefits $ 11,832
Health Insurance $ 9898
Dental Insurance $ 2,200
WIC Benefits $ 5,018
Rent subsidizes $ 6,000.00
Gross Income for subsidized families $ 105,660
Working families of Four earning between $50,000 and $100,000 a year have No subsidies are the families truly in crisis for everything they spend to take care of their families is out of pocket.
A Family of Four earning $85,000 a year in Worcester
$85,000.00 a year minus all government subsidies they don’t receive looks like this. $85,000.00 minus $68,860.00 out of pocket equals $16,140
Clearly, Congressman Jim McGovern has no clue what income and equality look's like, nor does he understand the crisis he has created against working families.
Facts matter and I will continue to fight for working families while addressing families in poverty, what I will not do is allow this lie of income and equality to continue.
