So are government benefits super generous or are these men just unable to make good wages despite "the man's attempt to work like a dog"?

Minimum wage * 50 hours per week is less than the benefits you would lose from it. There is literally a >100% marginal income tax at the bottom income brackets if you factor in loss of benefits. This also was in New York where benefits and taxes are high.

Ok, is this a problem? And if so does that mean there is some solution?
