A long time ago - mid-eighties - I was working in Denmark for an American employer. Back then the working Danes would complain that for every one of them working, there was another Dane on his back. Looks like we’ve reached that point in The States now.
Thats the one that caught my eye, the day of reckoning is near.
Fifty percent of Americans work for a living. The other fifty percent vote for a living.

“For every 1.25 employed persons in the private sector, 1 person receives welfare assistance or works for the government”
So, lets hear from government employees/welfare recipients on how it’s unfair to compare the two and how they are very important.
You have to laugh to keep from crying. This is pretty funny in that vein.
The global economy and trade (made possible by computers and the internet) has been brutal for many too,
Recall that in 2006 and 2007 (RINO) Republicans like GWB, McCain, Graham-nesty as well as the lib MSM (I think I posted a Balt Sun editorial lecturing us at the time ) lectured us on how our ‘growing economy’ requires lots of new low paid low skilled workers to feed it, arguing for amnesty for poor illegals.
This shows how delusional and dangerous that idea was. The Poor are expensive and the changing economy is not providing lots (or any) of decent paying jobs for low skill workers. And sooner or later they or their offspring get to vote, usually for stuff like raising the minimum wage that lands them unemployed on the government feedbag after it kills their jobs completely (actually the working poor are already getting lots of gov handouts before that pink slip)
These charts point out a sad truth that the Founders and others knew a long, long time ago:
“When the people find they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.”
