Patrick is actually super smart. Remember when he asked Spongebob how they could start fires underwater? Sometimes his genius IQ cracks through the surface. Either way he must be living on some sort of government assistance or welfare

Correction, he USED to be smart. If you've watched the newer ones (e.g. "Pet Sitter Pat") you'd see that he's now the kind of character that Homer Simpson at his dumbest would look at and say:
"Wow, that guy's a moron!"
Favourite movie of all time: "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan" -

Government Assistance? Are you people effing serious? Pay attention now: It. Is. A. CARTOON. A children's cartoon. You have to suspend belief. How is there a beach under the sea? How does a crab have a whale for a daughter? How does a computerized "wife" operate in salt water? It's a beep cartoon. That's the answer. To all of it. It's a cartoon.
Wow, seriously? -

(in a good tone of voice, good way):shut up Rweber108. WE all know that. Its just a fun guessing game. I personally think he has welfare and is autistic like me. That's my answer.
Don't take what people are saying so seriously! It's all in good fun
Answer: bigdirtracingfan is simple, As an autistic Caucasian 22 yr old male, I kinda get that way.
I'm going to assume that Patrick's seeming idiocy is actually a clever facade to evade working. Fooling the government, he is granted disability payment and gets an undisclosed amount of funds to afford everyday necessities.

It's just a cartoon, dude. by: kade5233

He probably gets economic support by the government for having some kind of mental illness. Doesn't need to work when he just makes matters worse, like when he worked at Krusty Krabs: Ate everything, answered the phone in the wrong way, scrubs the floor with the wrong side of the mop, etc. He's gotten a lot worse in the newer episodes. He baths Gary with a firethrower, doesn't care when people get hurt and always have this "sarcastic" face instead of his usual happy one.
It's actually hard to answer. We don't know if the inhabitants of Bikini Bottom pay taxes, rent, communal expenses, customs or whatever. The show isn't THAT deep. But this raises some more questions:- Do Spongebob pay for his boat schooling!?
- How can Spongebob pay for anything with his debt? Mr. Krabs have several times told him "this will be deducted from your salary". Crushed the restaurant, brought boots/fashion items from Krabs, etc.
