Gotta love CNBC for telling it like it is—”HANDOUTS” make up a third of US wages. Not sanitized terms like “transfer payments.” “Handouts”, as in someone sitting on their lazy ass with their hand out looking for money from someone else.
Seriously though—this shows how much the Welfare State has rotted most Americans’ self-sufficiency and why we are having such a hard time taking necessary, common sense steps in Wisconsin. The average American is addicted to the heroin of government handouts.
People like you just amaze me. “Handouts”? Social Security is part of our retirement. We EARNED it. Sheesh. Jerks.
