Still even in NY state $82k a year is enough that we shouldn't be looking to provide government handouts. It isn't helping out the poor.

$82k for a family of four is nothing. You figure $15-20 goes to taxes, another $15-20 goes for rent/mortgage....that's $30-40k right there. Then there is food, clothing, car, insurance, misc expenses. Health insurance for a family of four probably runs $18 per year. You're crazy if you think $82k is a lot of money. The low income median for Seattle low income housing is close to $50k; for NYC its probably closer to $60-70k.
