America is well beyond the 50 percent mark at this point when it comes to the government-dependency formulation. The only way out of this is to somehow advance the collapse of the state.

I would disagree Bob.If you are including SS recipients in your 50% calculations I wouldn't. I collect SS and am hardly a moocher or a taker.I still work 60-70 hours per week and have more than earned my SS.

Truth is there are about 22% hardcore left wingers in the country. Everyone else is subject to our messages.

Trouble is we have a very hard time getting them out since the DBM either won't report correctly distorts or leaves out all together when we make excellent points that we do. They do so knowing there is no price to pay! We need to give them a price to pay.

People make the mistake over and over again of lumping SS and Medicare into the 47 percent equation but it is NOT in there. The 47 percent are getting other benefits, not the ones they worked for.

If you throw in K-12 teachers, academia, union officials, state and local gov employees and others dependent on grants and such, the population of government-dependent people is well over 50 percent—WITHOUT touching SS recipients.

There may only be 22% hardcore leftwingers, but there appears to be another 29% who are unreliably prone to Bruce Springsteen and last minute, liberal media staged, blubber hugs.

We can't count on those folks for anything.

We need to target the conservative folks who didn't turn out this election.
