google “100 or 110 million” on the dole and see that there are that many getting some sort of government assistance NOT associated with Social Security or Medicare and judge for yourself.

Based on this and approximately 330 million or so population juxtaposed against the 47% and a rough guess is 2/3 of the 47% are leeches and the 1/3 is the ‘other’ probably are a combination of ‘some work’ and maybe some retired.

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???
