It is estimated 59% of the 308.7 million Americans in this country get at least one federal benefit, according to the Census Bureau, based on 2009 data. An estimated 46.5 million get Social Security; 42.6 million get Medicare; 42.4 million get Medicaid; 36.1 million get food stamps; 12.4 million get housing subsidies; and 3.2 million get Veterans' benefits.
We are in BIG trouble here. Look at these quotes (in italics) from the article.
That is a tough feeding trough to take away from voters.
Politicians won't want to touch this during this re-election cycle.
Somehow the DNA of our country is changing. Wealth creation is coming from DC, not from America’s entrepreneurs.
What will the business do? How will they survive?
In short, Americans have the government, not private enterprise, to thank for their wealth growth.
This is what some want. No work, just "free money" from the .gov
...if indeed more households have the government to thank for their wealth, does that mean those households are more inclined to re-elect politicians who are pushing for more government handouts?
I believe the answer here will be YES.
