Given a 5 day work week (some work on weekends too, but let's not count that), that's between 12K and 24K CASH. So bounce it up if you want the equivalent of normal taxed income. So babysitting a few days a week gets you past 11K take home pay.
As for 168K - try living in a place on Long Island in a good school district, where property taxes are around 10K+ a year and many mortgags are 400K for their 600K house ... you will see how 168k gross for a family in many areas of the Country is not a lot.
Maybe they were includingthe millions of people who have to travel miles to work ten hours a day just to get their welfare cheque?
Or are you not aware that this is happening to the most vulnerable people in US society?
The work to welfare program?, ring any bells?, itwas highlighted in the documentary Bowling for Columbine?
We need to punish the French, ignore the Germans and forgive the Russians - Condoleezza Rice.
