"It’s estimated that around 47% of Americans are already receiving government benefits in some way.
Here is 3 minute video on what Judge Napolitano says about the situation.
But I believe 47% is not an accurate reflection of the situation.
We also need to consider all government employees as well as those in the nominally private sector who make a living off of the warfare state—like defense and other government contractors who win huge no-bid contracts.
Those involved in the military industrial complex are living off slops at the government trough just as much, if not more than those who collect food stamps and other traditional forms of welfare. Yet they aren’t counted in the statistics. So we need to include them to get a more complete picture of who is financially dependent on the government.
Anyone who exists off of political dollars instead of free-market dollars should be counted.
When these people are included, we’re well north of 50% of the American population (a solid majority and growing) that’s financially dependent on the government in some form.
This means the US has crossed the Rubicon."
