Just over a fourth. The goal is to make it almost 100%, and that would be communism. Before they get there, they will take as much as they can from the producers until there are no more producers and hyperinflation of the currency begins and everyone is poor, cold and in the dark (except the ruling elite which will have everything it wants.)
“Umm nope - it comes from other taxpayers.”
“No it doesn’t. It comes from a printing press.”
I think from both combined. As for printing money:

I resent the idea that Social Security is gummint money.
My money was stolen and if I had received a lump sum payment from the Feds with just a 3% ROI, I would have received a check for $3,300,000.00 instead of the $36,000.00 per year.
It will only take 92 years for me to break even, so don't talk to me about gummint money, it is my stolen money, being repaid in dribbles.
Ordered up by the gov’ment.
How large a section of the middle class is being prevented from going to work?
Until that part of the equation is remedied the need for checks will continue.
Fact Checked. Missing Context. It doesn’t actually “come” from the Government because the Government has no money other then what they print or what they take from the citizens in taxes fee etc. I get a social security check. That odes not come from the government. It comes from an American tax payer
What the government giveth, the government can taketh away!
And that taxpayer is you, your money you pay taxes on twice, right?
Not anymore, a large percentage is simply created out of thin air via modern monetary theory. Which will eventually result in runaway inflation.
Winner. Exactly what I was going to post. Thank you!
Wealth transfer is a prime communist goal...
This 27% will be viewed as alarmingly low by the communists who now rule us with an iron fist...
They only need to get it to 50% and their rule is guaranteed for many centuries...
By the time the coming culling of all sheep deemed deplorable is completed, that percentage will go to about 70%...
On the bright side, we only have to suffer through this tyranny for 11,998 more months..
Yes it was stolen, but from SSI recipients I have talked to today, they are oblivious to that it is stolen from the current workers to keep receiving a SSI check. The “Third Rail” of politics doesn’t apply to the current workers who are having to pay for ever increasing numbers of those on SSI (and of course other government payouts). The bloated Government debt has been with us for decades, but SSI recipients demand that they never suffer from it.
Completely unsustainable.
Who writes these idiotic headlines?
Why not post the Zero Hedge Link?
