The real number is worse. The 49.1% does not include Government Employees and all the parasites in D.C. and the State Capitols. They all ride in the wagon that we pull.

Social Security, medicare, and unemployment are all very different than food stamps, medicaid, WIC, TANF and other welfare benefits.

I would like to see what type of benefits are counted. I get a military retirement. Does that lump me in with this group?

To many people - yes, it does.

Households dependent on government for benefits will support the more socialist candidate. Then there are the multitudes of political regulators getting their fat employment incomes and pensions from government. Think again.
