The Patriot Post® · More Redistributed Than Earned

According to the latest census data, more Americans now depend on government support than earned income. As of 2012, 151 million Americans receive government support, while 125 million earn a paycheck. Of course, there are some 50 million who receive earned support in the form of Social Security, Medicare and Veteran benefits. So as it stands now, 100 million Americans depend on the government for subsistence. Some 82 million receive Medicaid welfare (and that number is going up as a result of O'Care), 35 million receive food and shelter subsidies, and 5 million receive unemployment checks.
