Actually if you look at your federal tax forms you will find that a whole lot of recipients of government largesse are also federal taxpayers. They just know how to tap all of those government programs but then pay their federal taxes on them.

In my area we have many families making over $50,000/yr that then collect foodstamps and Medicaid but pay federal income taxes on it all.

While others working for $20,000/yr are not on foodstamps or Medicaid and don't pay federal income taxes.

So which of these two is "on the dole"???

Which is part of the 47%???

Which of those two do you think are going to vote for conservatives this year and have been for years???

47%....a number..discussed and debated. There are those that know how to game the system by working at good paying jobs while also maximizing the ‘system’ benefits. They’ll always be there. They are few because it takes some intelligence to do this - also some work is involved.

It still boils down to massive illegal alien infestation that rapes our wealth, Democrat constituent leeching, and massive income redistribution to people who don’t deserve it.

110 million people receiving government checks, 25% of all SS payments are for SSDI and SSI (on their website). Massive EITC (FIFTY Billion!), massive TANF, SNAP, Section 8, AFDC, Utilty assistance, Obama Phones, and all the other government Obama giveaways......

We have reached the tipping point, and it isn’t because ‘some’ of the leeches happen to have a job.
