In the period since 1993, the percentage of people living in families receiving âwelfareâ (TANF, SSI and/or SNAP) hit its lowest level in 2000, when it was 12.5 percent, according to the report. Between then and 2011, it climbed to its highest-yet-recorded rate of 23.1 percent.
This means that for 2010 20% of out budget could be considered to have gone to welfare. According to the same page someone in the 40%-60% households by income pays 7,200 in taxes. $1,475 of that could be called welfare. So you could claim the average person payes $1475 to federal welfare program, and while you have some numbers to back it up you will be entirely wrong.
